Engineering Support Services to maintain C4ISR and CGC2 Systems

The United States Coast Guard seeks to procure Engineering Support Services exclusively from Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Sensors to support the maintenance and enhancement of C4ISR and CGC2 systems used on the National Security Cutter and Maritime Patrol Aircraft. This sole-source contract involves developing and integrating software and hardware improvements, addressing supply chain difficulties related to diminishing manufacturing sources, resolving software end-of-life challenges, and managing safety, certification, and accreditation requirements. The contractor is also responsible for implementing information assurance patches, conducting testing, and providing integrated logistics support. All activities will be performed using government-owned laboratory equipment located at Lockheed Martin's facilities in Moorestown, NJ, and Owego, NY. Notably, the government currently does not hold the technical data rights for the C2micro system developed by Lockheed Martin, underscoring the rationale for a sole-source acquisition. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330 and is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security’s HQ Contract Operations office in Washington, DC. Key points of contact include the contracting officer, Kerri B. Williams, and contract specialist, Zenaida Palmer. This procurement ensures continued operational capability and technological sustainability of crucial communication and command systems integral to the Coast Guard’s mission.
