About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard Office of Aviation Acquisitions is issuing a Request for Information and Sources Sought notice for augmented reality and virtual reality training devices, with voluntary responses due 2:00 PM EST on November 23, 2026. This is market research only and does not commit the Government to contract. No set-aside is used. The notice seeks industry capabilities for VR headset-based training for pilots, aircrew, and maintainers on four aircraft platforms: HC-130J, HC-144B, MH-60T, and MH-65E. The envisioned deployment includes approximately 200 headsets, with 5 headsets each at 26 operational air stations and 35 headsets each at 2 aviation training centers. Desired capabilities include checklist and emergency procedures, systems knowledge, maintenance procedure card execution with sign-off, and interactive diagnostics covering built-in test menus, fault code interpretation, and line replaceable unit replacement simulation. Respondents must address multi-airframe hardware standardization, remote instructor monitoring and fault injection, open architecture compliance, cybersecurity and air-gap capability, and Authority to Operate history. Respondents must also provide a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate across six elements: non-recurring engineering and initial software development, hardware procurement for 200 headsets, annual software licensing and sustainment, deployment and train-the-trainer costs, hardware technology refreshment options, and warranty considerations. Written responses are limited to 15 pages excluding the cover page and 10MB in MS Word or searchable PDF format, submitted by email to Sharita.L.Leathers@uscg.mil with copy to Joel.M.Gibney2@uscg.mil. The Government identifies NAICS 541511 and 541512, each with a $34.0 million size standard, and PSC 6910. Attachments were updated November 4, 2026 to answer vendor questions, including a corrected PDF of the Questions and Responses document for RFI 70ZA0127AIRC12001.
