SCORP 29' RBSII Short Range Communications Upgrade (VHF, UHF, DSC)

The SCORP initiative aims to modernize short-range communications systems aboard 31 Northeast-based 29-foot RBSII vessels by replacing outdated radio equipment with new Marine VHF-FM, Tactical VHF-FM, and VHF-FM Digital Selective Calling (DSC) systems. This upgrade includes the installation of new radios, cabling, and antennas to ensure reliable and secure communication capability for mission-critical operations. The project is focused on eliminating obsolescence in existing hardware and enhancing interoperability and safety at sea through modern digital standards. The effort is being led by the United States Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security and is designated as a Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 517919. The point of contact for technical inquiries is Roger Brown, with Rick Petersen serving as the Small Business Specialist to assist qualified small businesses in engaging with the procurement. The work will be performed in the Northeast region, and while no formal solicitation number or posting date is available, the forecast indicates active planning and preparation for future contract award.
