(1) Provide appropriate input to the
R&DC for the development of the
Technology Demonstration Concept
Document, Technology Test Objectives,
Test Plan, and Project Report;
(2) Provide, install, operate, maintain,
and remove all material (including
hardware, software, and test
equipment), along with the associated
labor, needed for the Technology
Demonstration as set forth within the
Test Plan; and
(3) Provide the R&DC with a Test
Report documenting the results of the
Technology Demonstration.
Selection Criteria
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA participants all, some,
or none of the proposals received in
response to this notice. The Coast Guard
will provide no funding for
reimbursement of proposal development
costs. Proposals (or any other material)
submitted in response to this notice will
not be returned. Proposals submitted are
expected to be unclassified and have no
more than four single-sided pages
(excluding cover page and resumes).
The Coast Guard will select proposals at
its sole discretion on the basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described; and
(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described.
Currently, the Coast Guard is
considering General Dynamics for
participation in this CRADA. This
consideration is based on General
Dynamics’: (1) Expertise, experience,
and interest in asset tracking and nonverbal communications exchange
technology; and (2) capability to provide
the significant contributions required
for the CRADA work. However, we do
not wish to exclude other viable
participants from this or future similar
CRADAs.
This is a technology transfer/
development effort. Presently, the Coast
Guard has no plan to acquire asset
tracking and non-verbal
communications exchange technology.
Since the goal of this CRADA is to
identify and investigate the advantages,
disadvantages, performance, costs, and
other issues associated with using asset
tracking and non-verbal
communications exchange technology,
and not to set future Coast Guard
acquisition requirements for such
technology, non-Federal CRADA

partners will not be excluded from any
future Coast Guard procurements based
solely on their participation within this
CRADA.
Special consideration will be given to
small business firms/consortia, and
preference will be given to business
units located in the U.S.
