About this forecast
Customs and Border Protection is procuring sustainment, maintenance, and logistics support for Maritime Approaches Surveillance Systems (MAST) deployed at strategic coastal sites nationwide, with solicitation release estimated for November 16, 2026, and award anticipated January 1, 2027. MAST systems integrate commercial off-the-shelf sensor technologies including maritime surface search radars, EO/IR cameras, encrypted AIS receivers, and a Mission Management System operating 24/7/365 at elevated terrain positions; systems must meet DHS cybersecurity requirements, withstand harsh coastal and marine environments, and operate on commercial or solar power with generator backup, with data transmitted via DHS-accredited network to authorized operation centers.
The estimated award value ranges from $20 million to $50 million for a definitive contract with a period of performance from January 1, 2027, through January 1, 2032. MAST systems are deployed at multiple strategic coastal sites using site-specific configurations including towers, monopoles, tripods, raised platforms, or buildings to maximize overlapping radar and camera coverage. Contact Timothy Senior, Aviation Maritime and Border Technologies Requirements Office, at timothy.f.senior@cbp.dhs.gov or (801) 388-2322, or Ryan Smith, Field Officer, at ryan.m.smith2@cbp.dhs.gov or (202) 674-9146.
Forecast text
The scope of work includes sustainment, maintenance, and logistics support for deployed MAST systems and systems transitioning to steady-state operations and sustainment across current and future 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.
