About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking market research on maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) capabilities, specifically targeting Group 2 through Group 5 UAS technologies suitable for both cutter-based and land-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance operations. The RFI encompasses 18 detailed areas of inquiry, including comprehensive information about UAS system commerciality, performance characteristics, sensor capabilities, detect and avoid technologies, cybersecurity features, launch and recovery processes, battery management systems, and human systems integration. Potential respondents must provide extensive technical specifications covering aircraft performance, sensor technologies, autonomous operation capabilities, ground control station features, and compliance with federal regulations. All responses must be submitted electronically to Jennifer.D.Mcmahon@uscg.mil by 1:00 PM EST on August 18, 2025, with files exceeding 1MB required to be submitted as Windows 10/11 compatible zip files. The Coast Guard emphasizes that this RFI is purely for market research purposes and does not constitute a commitment to contract or issue a future Request for Proposal.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The RFI does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors, nor does it specify potential award values, budget ranges, or quantities of systems being considered for future procurement. The timeline for services and specific numerical requirements are not detailed in this preliminary market research phase, as the Coast Guard is focusing on gathering comprehensive industry capabilities and technical specifications to inform potential future acquisitions. The 32-day response period from the July 17, 2025 posting date to the August 18, 2025 deadline provides industry participants with adequate time to prepare detailed technical responses addressing the Coast Guard's extensive information requirements.
