Discussion

    CRADAs are authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3710(a).\1\ A CRADA promotes 
the transfer of technology to the private sector for commercial use, as 
well as specified research or development efforts that are consistent 
with the mission of the Federal parties to the CRADA. The Federal party 
or parties agree with one or more non-Federal parties to share research 
resources, but the Federal party does not contribute funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The statute confers this authority on the head of each 
Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS's authority is delegated to the 
Coast Guard and other DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation 
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CRADAs are not procurement contracts. Care is taken to ensure that 
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the contracting process. CRADAs have 
a specific purpose and should not be confused with procurement 
contracts, grants, and other type of agreements.
    Under the proposed CRADA, the R&D Center will collaborate with one 
non-Federal participant. Together, the R&D Center and the non-Federal 
participant will conduct sea glider evaluations to determine the 
system's applicability to USCG missions.
    We anticipate that the Coast Guard's contributions under the 
proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Collaborate with REGENT Craft Inc. to co-design specific 
operational and safety test scenarios, bringing in real-world maritime 
expertise;
    (2) Provide information regarding the USCG's interest in the WIG 
technology needed for creating the Test Plan;
    (3) Provide all support resources, including travel, for Coast 
Guard staff that supports this CRADA;
    (4) Provide personnel support to non-Federal participant to assist 
with setting up and execute testing in accordance with the agreed upon 
Test Plan;
    (5) Work with non-Federal participant to develop a Final Report, 
which will document the methodologies, findings, conclusions, and 
recommendations of this CRADA work.
    We anticipate that the non-Federal participants' contributions 
under the proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Provide appropriate staff with pertinent expertise to support 
the above mentioned tasks;
    (2) Provide all necessary facilities and sea glider resources 
needed to conduct the evaluations as outlined in the Test Plan;
    (3) Provide technical approach for the Test Plan;
    (4) Provide test data upon completion of testing.
    The Coast Guard reserves the right to select for CRADA participants 
all, some, or no proposals submitted for this CRADA. The Coast Guard 
will provide no funding for reimbursement of proposal development 
costs. Proposals and any other material submitted in response to this 
notice will not be returned. Proposals submitted are expected to be 
unclassified and have not more than five single-sided pages (excluding 
cover page, DD 1494, JF-12, etc.). 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 REGENT for participation 
in this CRADA. This consideration is based on the fact that REGENT has 
demonstrated its sea gliders and availability of appropriate facilities 
to execute test scenarios. However, we do not wish to exclude other 
viable participants from this or future similar CRADAs.
    This is a technology assessment effort. The goal of the Coast Guard 
for this CRADA is to determine the applicability of this type of vessel 
to the Coast Guard's missions. Special consideration will be given to 
small business firms/consortia, and preference will be given to 
business units located in the U.S. This notice is issued under the 
authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
