About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential suppliers for Digital Crew Units (DCU), identified by NSN 1680-01-HS3-3084 and Part Number 1188200-115. This is a pre-solicitation notice for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Interested vendors must respond by December 8, 2025, with company information, business classification details, and answers to eight specific qualification questions covering business size, NAICS code classification, SAM.Gov registration status, ownership structure, lead times, shipping terms, government agency references, and OEM traceability capabilities. The evaluation will assess respondents' capability to supply the item based on their experience, logistics capabilities, and existing government relationships. This notice allows the Coast Guard to survey the market and determine viable sources before issuing a formal solicitation.

This pre-solicitation notice does not include a set-aside designation and contains no identified incumbent contractors or award value information. The notice does not specify a quantity of units required or provide a timeline for potential contract performance. Responses should include basic company contact information and a point of contact, with sufficient detail to demonstrate the respondent's capability to meet the Coast Guard's requirements. The product falls under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components). The sources sought process allows vendors to express interest and capability without submitting formal proposals, enabling the government to develop a qualified vendor pool for future formal procurement action.
