Description

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Coast Guard (USCG) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5ISC) intends to award on a sole-source basis, a contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (GDMS), 8201 E McDowell Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85257 USA for a five-year ordering period.

The USCG intends to procure continued operations, maintenance, and sustainment engineering services for the R21-C system. The R21-C system is the USCG-s advanced command, control, and direction finding (DF) communication system serving 32 USCG sectors in the continental U.S. and territories. The R21-C system provides search and rescue (SAR) capabilities with specific coverage and operational availability requirements. Any interruptions in system functionality would severely impact the USCG-s ability to carry out its fundamental mission of saving the lives of mariners in distress. The acquisition will provide for all management, engineering services, personnel, labor, materials, and equipment to support and maintain the R21-C system, subsystems, and equipment. This requirement includes the sustainment of existing Information Technology (IT) resources. As currently configured, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., is the only contractor that can maintain the R21-C system as they possess the proprietary data rights and methods necessary to ensure the latest design configuration, manufacturing, and quality control for producing parts that meet the USCG's latest requirements and specifications. Due to GDMS-s exclusive access to proprietary data required for R21-C system maintenance, combined with the prohibitive cost and timeline of developing a replacement system, GDMS is the only viable source to ensure continued operational capability in the interim, as confirmed by market research and independent analysis.
