Account requiredWhy it scored this way

Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.

New Requirement, No Contract
No incumbent. A new requirement means nobody is defending a position here, and no one has an insider’s head start on the scope.

Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Market intelligence

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays

Comparable awards under NAICS 541330 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.

Statement of work, as posted

The purpose of this requirement is to support the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) recapitalization of the Coast Guard Electronic Charting System (CGECS) installed aboard the 154-foot Fast Response Cutter (WPC-154) fleet. Under this effort, existing end-of-life Comark Enduranode computers and discontinued 17-inch Hatteland monitors will be replaced with an integrated Computer and Monitor All-in-One (AiO) solution engineered to meet maritime environmental standards (e.g., IEC 60945) and withstand harsh operating conditions. Additionally, legacy lower-level hardware components, such as data distribution equipment, will be upgraded where feasible to standardize electronic navigation architecture, reduce failure rates, streamline fleet troubleshooting, and ensure continued operational readiness across the WPC-154 platform. There are 64 installations planned to be completed both CONUS and OCUNUS. USCG plans to issue a task order under the ILMS II IDIQ for this requirement.
