About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify commercially available artificial intelligence-powered solutions that can enhance the efficiency and quality of its procurement and acquisition program management processes. This market research initiative seeks integrated software solutions addressing four primary capability areas: Procurement Workflow Automation, Acquisition Program Management Automation, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence & Enterprise Interoperability. Key objectives include automating manual business processes, improving workflow visibility, enhancing business intelligence capabilities, and enabling rapid delivery of technologies and operational capabilities to the field. Vendors must provide comprehensive responses including solution overviews, technical capabilities, implementation schedules, support options, cybersecurity features, past performance records, and cost information. The RFI submission deadline is December 2, 2025, at 1500 Eastern Daylight Time, with responses to be submitted via email to Ryan Shaughnessy. It is important to note that this is an information-gathering exercise only and not a formal solicitation, making vendor participation entirely voluntary.
This RFI carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current solutions. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase intended to inform future procurement strategy rather than an actual contract award opportunity. Vendors responding to the RFI should indicate whether proposed capabilities are currently available, feasibly developable with estimated costs, or not feasible. All proposed solutions must comply with federal security requirements, specifically operating at DISA Impact Level 4 for Controlled Unclassified Information or below. The suggested NAICS code is 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with a Product Service Code of D304 (Automated Information System Design and Development Services), indicating the anticipated nature of the eventual procurement.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is issuing this Request For Information (RFI) to gain a better understanding of the current marketplace and obtain information regarding commercial solutions with integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) capability that will enhance the efficiency and quality of the USCG procurement and acquisition program management process. This is NOT a solicitation and is intended for information and planning purposes only. The USCG is seeking information on commercially available and emerging technologies that can address specific challenges within our current end-to-end procurement workflow.
A faster, more adaptable, and highly effective Coast Guard is required to successfully deliver the full scope of planned reconciliation services and capabilities. A critical element of that is implementing an agile and responsive contracting and acquisitions (C&A) solution capable of supporting the rapid delivery of cutting-edge technologies and operational capabilities to the field at the speed of need. We will make significant changes across the C&A organization to implement a solution to provide the capabilities necessary to execute the Coast Guard’s increasingly complex missions. This high velocity solution will eliminate unnecessary and time-intensive requirements wherever possible, strengthen oversight and visibility, and leverage innovative procurement solutions to improve cost and schedule outcomes.
A major initiative required to reach that target objective is the successful adoption and use of advanced technology, human-machine teaming, and data to conduct operational, support, and enterprise functions. We will maximize the use of Commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) and Artificial Intelligence in accordance with FD28 Executive Plan to obtain and integrate new enterprise capabilities that streamlines, automates and improves overall quality and efficiency of current contracting and acquisition workflows and delivers significant value to the enterprise.
This system should meet the gaps of current enterprise business processes by: (1) Interfacing directly with existing DHS & commercial procurement systems of record; (2) Providing a single point of entry for both procurement and acquisition documentation development and approval workflow; (3) enabling the addition of advanced artificial intelligence and business intelligence to supplement documentation development and decision support capabilities; and (4) Provide a community knowledge management capability.
This enterprise capability is intended to significantly improve data quality issues with current disparate and redundant business process workflows, while automating and standardizing workflows to greatly enhance enterprise efficiency and expand scope of current status tracking visibility and planning capabilities.
Interested parties are requested to submit a response to this RFI using the attached documents. All responses and questions must be submitted electronically via email no later than 03:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) on December 02, 2025 to the Contracting Officer, Ryan Shaughnessy at Ryan.W.Shaughnessy@uscg.mil.
