Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking market research on technologies and services that can support Maritime Domain Dominance (MDD) Operational Concepts through a Request for Information (RFI). The objective is to identify available and technically ready solutions that can create a unified, real-time MDD capability, enhancing the Coast Guard's ability to detect, identify, and respond to threats along U.S. borders and maritime approaches. This initiative is crucial for improving national security by establishing a "detect-to-act" pipeline that integrates various assets and sensors, thereby enabling faster and more accurate threat detection and response. Interested parties are encouraged to submit detailed technical information by January 2, 2026, to Kiemisha Sweetney at Kiemisha.Sweetney@uscg.mil.

AI Summary
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Research and Development Center has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research on technologies and services that can support Maritime Domain Dominance (MDD) Operational Concepts. This RFI is not a solicitation for proposals but aims to identify available and technically ready solutions for a unified, real-time MDD capability. The USCG seeks to establish a "detect-to-act" pipeline connecting various assets and sensors to improve threat identification, warning, and response along U.S. borders and maritime approaches. They are looking for holistic or collected capabilities, not a singular solution, to achieve faster and more accurate security. The RFI requests detailed technical information, including how proposed solutions contribute to MDD, their operational mechanics, ability to track vessels, provide real-time situational awareness, fuse sensor data, improve detection probability, network architecture, scalability, cybersecurity, sensor details, acquisition options, supportability, interoperability, estimated timelines, Technical Readiness Level (TRL), and cost estimates. Responses are due by January 2, 2026.
