The United States Coast Guard (uscg) Is Seeking Information From Potential Offerors Who Are Interested In And Are Able To Provide A Technical Demo Displaying A Web-based Sensor Feed Into Uscg Command Centers Who Ideally Will Use The Data Feed To Assist To Execute Cg Missions. Uscg Seeks A Long-range Persistent Maritime Isr In Designated Areas From U.s. Territorial Waters To The Exclusive Economic Zone (eez) Comprised Of Maritime Waters Of Conus, Alaska, And Hawaii And U.s. Territories. The Uscg Seeks To Identify Possible Technical Solutions To Provide The Following: sensor: detection Of Vessels 30 Feet In Length And Greater Operating Between The U.s. Shoreline To 200 Nautical Miles Offshore. Solution Must Automatically Detect, Identify, And Characterize (including Cross-cue) Tois Detected And Correlate With Ais Tracks Without Government Assistance. The Coast Guard Has Interest In Sensor Capabilities Including Eo, Ir, Sar, Multi And Hyperspectral, Rf Detection And Geolocation, Geoint, Imint, And Acoustic, Among Others. the Sensor Provides A Current Data Feed Picture Of A Width Of At Least 100 Nautical Miles In Diameter. the Sensor Has Sufficient Ground Sample Distance (gsd) To View (visually) Detected Tracks, And Detect Multiple Vessels Side By Side, Including Ship-to-ship (sts) Transfer Activities. ideally, The Sensor Feed Would Not Require Switching Between Sensors To Ensure Persistent Isr. ideally, The Sensor Can Be Relocated To Areas Of Operational Interest. processing: the Sensor Will Combine Multiple Observations Of The Same Vessel Into A Single Track. the Sensor Will Determine The Length, Width, And Heading Of All Vessels Detected. determine The Identity Of Vessels Detected From Imagery With Identifiers Like Imo And Mmsi Even When A Nearby Ais Transmission Is Not Detected. When Identity Cannot Be Determined With High Confidence, A List Of Likely Identities Shall Be Provided. automatically Identify Behavior Like Ais Spoofing, Ais Inactivity, Invalid Ais, Multiple Vessel Side-by-side, Port Visits, And Fishing Activity the Coast Guard Is Interested In Sensors And Fusion Capabilities Employing Ai For Classification Of Tois. data Feed: the Coast Guard Desires A Data-as-a-service Solution, Rather Than A Vendor Specific Ui Website. The Data Feed Will Be Provided In An Industry Standard Gis Format For Ingestion Into Coast Guard Minotaur And Sextant Systems. vendor Will Provide Enterprise Arcgis Dashboard, Applications, And Workflows For Visualizing And Analyzing Captured Data Accessible By Designated Uscg Command Centers And Designated Cghq Personnel Via Vendor Website. the Data Feed Must Be Able To Be Geofenced. the Sensor And Sensor Feed Will Not Be Dependent On Government Assistance. the Data Distribution For Uscg Data Must Be Unclassified. the Data Feed Will Be Live/current With No More Than 15-minute Latency. ideally, Data Feed Will Provide Additional Correlated Data Such As Movement Tracks And Additional Identification Data. the Tech Demo Must Maintain A Live Data Feed For A Minimum Of 30 Days (24 Hours/7 Days A Week), Allowing For Minimum Testing Disruption. request 1-2 Page Submissions From Vendors, Who Will Be Able To Conduct The Tech Demo For Evaluation During The Third Or Fourth Quarter Of Fiscal Year 2025. there Is No Solicitation At This Time. This Rfi Is Not A Request For Proposals; Submission Of Any Information In Response To This Request Is Purely Voluntary; The Government Will Not Pay For Any Costs Incurred Nor Is Obligated To Respond. All Submissions Become Government Property And Will Not Be Returned. the Applicable North American Industry Classification System (naics) Code Assigned To This Procurement May Be 541519. after Reviewing Rfi Responses To This Rfi, And If The Uscg Still Plans To Proceed With The Acquisition, A Solicitation Announcement May Be Published On The Contract Opportunities (formerly Fedbizopps) Website Or Distributed To Contract Holders If A Strategically Sourced Vehicle Is Deemed Appropriate. It Is The Responsibility Of The Interested Parties To Monitor The Contract Opportunities Website. failure To Respond Or Submit Sufficiently Detailed Information May Result In A Company Not Being Considered A Likely Offeror When Making A Decision On Whether Or How To Set Aside A Solicitation For Restricted Competition.
