Forecast text

CBP Air & Marine Operations continues to pursue Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) to increase coverage, processing, target verification, and target identification of items of interest. Services will provide increased persistent surveillance coverage and vessel detection out to an objective number of Nautical Miles (NM) in high-need maritime regions, closing identified coverage gaps. Data and any AI-enabled analytics must be fit for near real-time distribution to the sensor Mission Management System (MMS).

This requirement is for services and software licensing. Data as a Service approach does not require hardware procurement.

If initial testing meets technical needs, contract options are part of the total estimated value.

This requirement is awardable through the Tradewinds Marketplace, which satisfies competition requirements without further competitive procedures.

Multiple locations: Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands coastal region. Additional locations TBD if applicable options are exercised.
