Suitable Warfighting Adaptive Payloads (SWAP)-USV Sprint 2
Solicitation # PROJ00721
The Department of War Innovation Unit is seeking mature, production-ready Unmanned Surface Vessels integrated with hard-kill counter-air effectors to address the cost-exchange imbalance when countering asymmetric maritime and airborne threats. This effort, designated as Sprint 2 of the SWAP-USV Prize Challenge, focuses on detecting, tracking, and defeating hostile airborne threats, specifically Group 1-3 UAS and rotary-wing aircraft, in contested environments. The government prioritizes total cost-effectiveness and high-rate production scalability over exquisite performance, requiring solutions that can be fielded forward within 120 days. Eligible submissions must be fully integrated systems comprising the vessel, launcher, and payload, as standalone components will not be considered. Technical requirements include a minimum operational range of 200 nautical miles, a sustained cruise speed of at least 10 knots, and MOSA-compliant command-and-control architectures compatible with Project AVO. Selected offerors must demonstrate their integrated systems within 30 days of down-selection through a series of baseline safety and operational challenge tests. Complete proposal packages are due by November 30, 2026, with a potential for follow-on prototype or production awards from a budgeted 200 million dollars.

USCG Response Boat Small Third Generation (RB-S III)
Solicitation # 70Z02326R93250001
The United States Coast Guard is soliciting proposals for the Response Boat Small Third Generation (RB-S III) program to recapitalize its aging fleet of 29-foot RB-S II platforms. This total small business set-aside acquisition is a commercial Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract utilizing a combination of Firm-Fixed-Price and Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment CLINs. The scope includes the design, production, testing, and delivery of up to 410 boats and associated purpose-built trailers, along with logistics support, technical documentation, and crew familiarization. The anticipated ordering period is ten years, consisting of a two-year base period and an eight-year option period. The procurement employs a two-phase competitive down-select process. In Phase I, the government will evaluate written proposals based on mission effectiveness, production and management, and price to select up to four IDIQ contractors. Each selected offeror will receive an initial delivery order to build one demonstrator boat and trailer. In Phase II, these contractors will participate in a 90-day in-water demonstration to evaluate performance. Following this independent evaluation, one contractor will be selected to receive all subsequent production delivery orders. Phase I proposals are due by 1400 Eastern Time on November 13, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the DoD Secure Access File Exchange.
