About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard issued a sole source justification notice for technical and analytical support to expand the Waterways Risk Assessment Model (WRAM) from a proof of concept to a full prototype covering all major strategic ports and waterways of the Marine Transportation System. The services include data integration, machine learning model training and validation, risk model refinement, documentation updates, stakeholder engagement, and support for pilot period tools. The Coast Guard awarded this contract exclusively to The MITRE Corporation under contract number 70Z02325C5PW00002 because MITRE originally developed the WRAM proof of concept and possesses unique specialized modeling expertise, deep understanding of Coast Guard operations, and established stakeholder relationships that no other contractor can replicate without significant delays and risks. The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is valued at $520,000 for the base year performance period from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2026, with funding sourced from Fiscal Years 2025, 2026, and 2027. No other sources expressed interest when the Coast Guard published a presolicitation notice on SAM.gov on August 14, 2025, further supporting the sole source determination.
