AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking contractor services to support software operating on existing hardware at its Research and Development Center. The objective is to test communication compatibility and issues between various brands of Very High Frequency (VHF) Digital Selective Calling (DSC) radios to identify any potential safety concerns. This testing will be conducted using proprietary software developed and maintained by Frequentis USA, which is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and sole entity authorized to modify the DSC tester software. The Coast Guard plans to procure both supplies and services under a non-competitive basis with Frequentis USA, leveraging the authority granted by FAR 6.302 due to their exclusive rights and data ownership. While this notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids, the government invites interested parties to express their interest and capability to respond, though any decision not to engage in competition rests solely with the Coast Guard. Submissions will be reviewed primarily to determine whether a competitive procurement process is necessary. The contract, titled "Modification of DSC Analyzer," falls under NAICS code 334290 and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Headquarters Contract Operations office based in Washington, DC. The point of contact for this effort is Baptistia L. Albino.
