USCG C-27J Missionization

Due to receiving several requests to extend the response time of this request for information (RFI).  Unfortunately the Government will only be able to extend this RFI for 1 week from the current closing date.  Although pricing for this requirement is not required it is helpful when conducting market research.  A capabilities statement is far more important when responding to this RFI.  Please submit information NLT 13 July 2016 by 1:00 PM.
