Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the United States Coast Guard (USCG), is seeking information from potential offerors for a technical assessment of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) at Sector San Francisco. The objective is to enhance coastal maritime domain awareness by evaluating existing VTS technologies and operations, and subsequently providing a technical demonstration of a proposed turnkey transformation plan, including rough order of magnitude (ROM) costs for replacement and sustainment. This initiative is crucial for managing the significant vessel traffic in the San Francisco Bay area, which sees approximately 150,000 vessel transits annually. Interested vendors are invited to submit 1-2 page responses by January 5, 2026, detailing their capabilities and organizational information to Patrick W. McCuen at patrick.w.mccuen@uscg.mil, as this RFI is part of market research and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals.
