About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Buffalo Computer Graphics Inc. (BCG) for radar simulator equipment. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with BCG identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements. The Coast Guard requires one PCS-400 Radar Simulator and one PCS-401 Radar Simulator Hardware/Software Kit to support operations at the USCG Seawatch Lab. BCG, located in Buffalo, New York, is recognized as the sole developer and manufacturer of the required hardware and software systems. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price arrangement with a three-month performance period beginning August 25, 2025.
The primary purpose of this sole-source action is to acquire specialized radar simulation equipment that only BCG can provide, including associated interfaces, trade-in of existing equipment, and license transfer support. Despite the sole-source designation, the Coast Guard is inviting all responsible sources to submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by 5:00 PM ET on August 17, 2025. Interested vendors must demonstrate their ability to perform the required work and submit responses to Contract Specialist Ann M. Leuters and Contracting Officer Delton L. Brun via email. The notice explicitly states that oral communications are not acceptable and that this is not a competitive Request for Quotation. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with full and open competition based on responses received, though the current justification supports sole-source award to BCG.
