About this opportunity

The U.S. Coast Guard has published a Limited Sources Justification under FAR 8.405-6 for the sole-source procurement of Iridium Self-Locating Datum Marker Buoys (iSLDMBs) to support Search and Rescue operations for the Government of Taiwan through Foreign Military Sales. The justification cites MetOcean Telematics Limited as the only known vendor capable of providing iSLDMBs that meet the Coast Guard's specific operational and technical requirements for SAROPS (Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System) missions. The specialized buoys are equipped with GPS and environmental sensors and are designed to transmit critical data in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Contract 47QSWA20D00A7 was awarded on August 20, 2025, utilizing a firm-fixed-price arrangement under the Multiple Award Schedule Program, funded with non-appropriated, country-specific funds from Taiwan for Fiscal Year 2025. While the specific contract value and quantity details are redacted from the public posting, the procurement demonstrates the Coast Guard's commitment to providing Taiwan with advanced maritime search and rescue capabilities through this specialized buoy technology.
