The United States Coast Guard Office of Rapid Response and Prototyping (CG-RAPTOR) invites industry to submit information on mature, operationally relevant technologies that could strengthen the Coastal Sentinel capability portfolio. Based on the responses, the Coast Guard intends to down-select to no more than ten companies to participate in an invitation-only Coastal Sentinel Industry Day the afternoon of 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California. The Government may select fewer than ten companies at its discretion.

The objective is to identify technologies that can be evaluated rapidly with operators, integrated with existing or emerging maritime data and command-and-control workflows, and transitioned at a pace consistent with urgent operational needs.

A response may address one technology area or an integrated solution spanning multiple areas. The Government is especially interested in solutions that are already demonstrated in relevant environments, can show measurable operational value, and can be presented or demonstrated on the event date without significant Government-funded development.

Afternoon

Demonstrations, technical presentations, and operator exchanges by the companies selected through this RFI. Each selected company will receive a scheduled slot; exact duration and set-up instructions will be provided in the invitation. Vendors should expect an approximately 30-minute time slot.

Event Close

Government observations, next steps, and administrative wrap-up. Participation does not imply endorsement, qualification, or a commitment to acquire the demonstrated technology.

The event is expected to be unclassified. The Government will not accept classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), or export-controlled technical data in response to this notice. Additional handling restrictions for the event will be provided to selected participants.
