About this forecast
Customs and Border Protection is procuring Maritime Approaches Surveillance Systems (MAST) for rapid production, deployment, and steady-state operations across coastal sensor coverage zones nationwide, with solicitation release estimated for December 1, 2026 and award anticipated April 1, 2027. MAST systems integrate commercial off-the-shelf maritime surface search radars, EO/IR cameras, encrypted AIS receivers, a Mission Management System, and payload platforms operating 24/7/365 at strategic coastal sites; systems must meet cybersecurity requirements, withstand harsh coastal and marine environments, transmit data via DHS-accredited networks to authorized operation centers, and employ commercial or solar power with generator backup using site-specific configurations including towers, monopoles, tripods, raised platforms, or buildings to maximize overlapping coverage.
The estimated award value is $100 million for a definitive contract with performance period from April 1, 2027 through January 16, 2032; contract type is to be determined. Performance occurs at strategic coastal sites nationwide. Contact Timothy Senior at timothy.f.senior@cbp.dhs.gov or (801) 388-2322 for requirements inquiries, or Ryan Smith at ryan.m.smith2@cbp.dhs.gov or (202) 674-9146 for procurement matters.
Forecast text
The scope of work includes the rapid production and deployment of MAST systems and transitioning deployed systems into steady-state O&S across current and future MAST sensor coverage zones. A MAST system uses commercial off-the-shelf sensor technologies, including maritime surface search radars, EO/IR cameras, encrypted AIS receivers, a Mission Management System, and payload platforms. Data is transmitted via a DHS-accredited network to authorized DHS operation centers. MAST systems operate 24/7/365 and include radar, camera, communications, supportability, power, and remote health-monitoring equipment. They are designed to meet cybersecurity requirements, withstand harsh coastal and marine environments, and operate on commercial or solar power with generator backup. Systems are deployed at strategic coastal sites using elevated terrain and site-specific configurations, such as towers, monopoles, tripods, raised platforms, or buildings, to maximize overlapping radar and camera coverage.
