About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking media, strategic planning, and communication support services through a Sources Sought notice to enhance its Office of Governmental and Public Affairs. The procurement aims to help the Coast Guard rapidly scale its communication capabilities across various platforms and stakeholder groups, including the public, Congress, workforce media, and other key audiences. Services will encompass digital communications, strategic program coordination, web content management, multimedia support, social media coordination, collections management, market research, and archival support. The notice is currently in a planning phase, with no solicitation documents existing at this time, and is scheduled for potential Request for Quote (RFQ) issuance in the third or fourth quarter of FY2025. Interested contractors must submit detailed responses to the contract specialist by 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time on April 22, 2025, demonstrating their capabilities, experience, and understanding of federal communication processes.
The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with a small business size standard of $16.5 million under NAICS code 541820 for Public Relations Agencies. Potential respondents must provide comprehensive information including company details, size classification, previous experience, pricing approach, and contract vehicle information. While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation indicates the Coast Guard seeks subject matter experts with proven public affairs experience. Importantly, the notice emphasizes that responding to this sources sought notice does not preclude future participation in the RFP, and contractors will not be penalized for choosing not to respond. The government will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing responses, and this notice does not constitute a commitment to contract for any services.
