The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is planning to award a sole source contract for a comprehensive analysis of the national maritime transportation system (MTS) needs in the Arctic region of Alaska. The objective of this procurement is to engage Arctic-minded experts from various sectors, including government, academia, and industry, to identify risks, opportunities, and recommendations for modernizing the MTS in the Arctic. The University of Alaska Anchorage has been selected as the contractor due to its prior collaboration with the Coast Guard, which has established its capability to deliver the required analysis without delays or duplicative efforts. Interested organizations may submit their qualifications to Johnathan L. Maro at johnathan.l.maro@uscg.mil by September 13, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. Alaska time, although this notice is not a request for competitive quotes.
