USCG Polar Security Cutter Human Performance Support and Training Development

The United States Coast Guard is acquiring a comprehensive Human Performance Support and Training system to prepare crewmembers and shore personnel for operations aboard the new Polar Security Cutter, a critical asset for sustaining U.S. presence and capability in polar regions. The effort encompasses full lifecycle support including analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation, and ongoing maintenance of training systems tailored to the unique demands of the cutter’s mission. Approximately 136 crewmembers and 20 shore support staff will require efficient and expedited training to achieve proficiency in operating and maintaining advanced cutter systems during extended deployments from U.S. bases. Training will be delivered across multiple locations, including the contractor’s facility, the shipbuilder’s site in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and other necessary sites, ensuring seamless integration with the vessel’s operational readiness timeline. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 611430 and is specifically set aside for small businesses, reflecting the Coast Guard’s commitment to fostering small business participation in national defense capabilities. The solicitation is part of a broader strategy to ensure mission-critical readiness through optimized human performance, with a focus on adaptability, scalability, and long-term sustainment. Point of contact for inquiries is Anne Ball, with Mark Solomon serving as the Small Business Specialist to facilitate engagement with qualifying small businesses. The system must be fully functional and integrated prior to the cutter’s commissioning, enabling crews to execute complex polar missions with precision and safety from day one.
