About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking software sustainment support services, specifically targeting vendors with extensive experience supporting software for the HC-144 aircraft system. The agency requires potential contractors to have at least 15 years of relevant software support expertise, with detailed capabilities in software and hardware integration, graphic user interface (GUI) development, and comprehensive system management. Interested vendors must respond via email to the technical point of contact, Twana Ballard, by May 1, 2025, providing extensive company and technical information. The evaluation will focus on the respondents' past performance, technical capabilities, existing government contract vehicles, and potential contract execution approaches. Vendors are expected to demonstrate proficiency across multiple computer operating systems and provide comprehensive details about their software support capabilities.
No specific set-aside designations are currently associated with this pre-solicitation notice, indicating the opportunity is open to a broad range of contractors. While no incumbent contractor is mentioned, the Coast Guard is soliciting information about potential contract structures, with vendors encouraged to recommend contract types such as firm-fixed-price or hybrid arrangements. The pre-solicitation does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but the technical complexity and requirement for 15+ years of specialized experience suggest a substantial, potentially multi-year engagement. The agency is seeking detailed insights into contractors' technical capabilities, existing government-wide acquisition contracts, and their ability to provide comprehensive software sustainment support for specialized maritime aviation systems. Prospective vendors are asked to provide extensive background information, including organizational details, socioeconomic status, and specific technical qualifications.
