USCG Robotics and Autonomous Systems Program Executive Office – Medium Range UAS

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is issuing a market‑research RFI to identify qualified vendors capable of delivering Contractor‑Owned, Contractor‑Operated (COCO) medium‑range unmanned aircraft system (UAS) services for maritime ISR. The effort will be structured under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with a five‑year base period, one five‑year option and up to ten ordering periods, and will cover Group 2 or Group 3 UAS (TRL 8) that can launch and recover from cutter flight decks while a static H‑60 or H‑65 helicopter is in a folded configuration. Vendors must meet all threshold requirements in Attachment J‑2 (including 24/7 ISR coverage, specific on‑scene times, range, and hand‑off capabilities) and may propose objective or optional capabilities for best‑value consideration. Offerors are required to submit a ≤15‑page capability statement, complete the Requirements Verification Traceability Matrix (J‑3), and provide company size (NAICS 541370), status, UEI, BOA interest, and feedback on the proposed contract vehicle and aircraft performance specifications. The USCG will competitively select one vendor per cutter class and region (with the possibility of multiple classes/regions per vendor) on a limited‑source basis.
