Discussion CRADAs are authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3710a.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. 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. 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:12 May 14, 2024 Jkt 262001 Under the proposed CRADA, the USCG Research and Development Center (RDC) will collaborate with one or more non-Federal participants. Together, the USCG RDC and the nonFederal participant will evaluate the suitability of open-source software defined radio technology in a shore-side and shipboard environment to conduct USCG missions. We anticipate that the USCG’s contributions under the proposed CRADA will include the following: 1. Provide appropriate staff with pertinent expertise to take the lead in accomplishing the required tasks; collaborate with selected non-Federal participants to evaluate the suitability of open-source software defined radio technologies; 2. Provide information regarding the USCG’s interest in the open-source software designed radio technology needed for creating the test plan, and co-design specific operational test scenarios, bringing in real-world maritime expertise; 3. Obtain, transport, and provide all of the ensemble items to be used during the testing; 4. Provide personnel support to nonFederal 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 CRADA will include the following: 1. Provide appropriate staff with pertinent expertise to support the abovementioned tasks; 2. Provide all necessary facility resources needed to conduct opensource software designed radio technology demonstrations and testing; 3. Provide technical support for all technology demonstrations and proposed test plans; 4. Provide technical data for the equipment, software, and services to be utilized; 5. Provide shipment and delivery of any equipment required to conduct evaluations, demonstrations, and test events as described in the CRADA; 6. Provide travel and associated personnel and other expenses, as required, for subject work; 7. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42483 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 no more than five single-sided pages (excluding cover page, DD 1494, JF–12, etc.). The Coast Guard will select proposals at its sole discretion based on: 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 GDMS, for participation in this CRADA. This consideration is based on GDMS briefings to the USCG’s Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Cyber and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) on its opensource software defined radio technology plans and availability of appropriate facilities to execute demonstrations and test scenarios. However, we do not wish to exclude other viable participants from this or future similar CRADAs. This is a technology suitability effort. The goal of this CRADA is to evaluate the suitability of implementing opensource SDR technologies on shore-side and shipboard environments. 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). M.P. Chien, Captain, Commanding Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center.
