ForeFlight Military Flight Bag Pro Licenses

The United States Coast Guard intends to award a sole source contract to ForeFlight LLC for the provision of ForeFlight Military Flight Bag (MFB) Pro Licenses, which are critical for their Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) system. The contract will cover a base year with four additional option years. ForeFlight is uniquely qualified as its software is the only application compatible with the Appareo Stratus 2S ADS-B receiver, the sole authorized ADS-B device used by the USCG aviation fleet. This ensures seamless integration necessary for the Coast Guard’s operational requirements. The contract, identified as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 511120, is being managed by the Headquarters Contract Operations office within the Department of Homeland Security and is based in Houston, Texas. This announcement serves as a notice of intent to award and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or quotes. Points of contact for the contract include Dennis Parker, Contract Specialist, and Candice Rininger, Contracting Officer. The arrangement reflects the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition due to the unique capabilities and sole source status of ForeFlight, ensuring the Coast Guard’s specific software and hardware compatibility needs are met for their aviation EFB system.
