The contract is set for an estimated duration of 120 months starting on March 6, 2023.

This notice serves only as an announcement of intent to award and does not represent a request for proposals nor will there be a solicitation issued for competition. Questions related to the contract can be directed to designated Coast Guard contacts Justin Geisendaffer and Sarah Marsiglia. The contract is managed under the Department of Homeland Security’s Headquarters Contract Operations office in Washington, DC, and falls under the NAICS code for engineering services (541330). This sole-source contract reflects the legal and operational necessity for the Coast Guard to utilize ABS for these critical classification services.
