Solicitation HSCG32-12-R-R00003 - Operations Research and Mathematical Modeling Support Services (ORMMSS)

The Coast Guard (CG) Research and Development Center (RDC) is a strategic CG resource and the sole CG facility performing research, development, test and evaluation in support of the CG's major missions of Maritime Law Enforcement, Maritime Safety, Marine Environmental Protection and National Security. RDC supports CG acquisition and regulatory processes and strives to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of CG operations and resources. RDC is also the CG's principal systems analysis center supporting key acquisition decisions. In response to the CG's ability to conduct responsive and cost-effective modeling and simulation (M&S) to support CG decision, CG established a M&S Center-of-Expertise (COE) at the CG RDC in New London, CT. M&S COE activities are focused on data analysis, modeling and simulation based operations research, and sensor performance prediction. Tasking for this procurement will involve operations research and mathematical modeling support services requiring the coordinated integration of experience and expertise to be applied to the following RDC functional areas: 1.
