About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for adaptive maintenance and support services for the Vega Electronic Chart Display and Information System and Electronic Charting System (ECDIS/ECS) electronic navigation software. The five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract was awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on September 2, 2025, for a total value of $9,500,000 with annual funding ranging from $1,720,000 in Year 1 to $2,100,000 in Year 5. The sole source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the Vega software, which is a derivative of Northrop Grumman's VisionMaster FT commercial navigation software that has been customized specifically for Coast Guard requirements, with Northrop Grumman maintaining exclusive data rights and authorization to provide maintenance and updates. The navigation software is currently deployed on over 270 Coast Guard cutters and boats, and market research conducted from October to December 2023 confirmed no alternative sources exist. The Coast Guard plans to transition to a competitive solution by Fiscal Year 2030 but requires continued support from Northrop Grumman for the existing Vega system in the interim.
