Rescue 21 Coastal Sustainment

This requirement is to deliver continued operations, maintenance, and sustainment engineering services for the Rescue 21 (R21-C) Coastal System. The R21-C system is the United States Coast Guard s (USCG) 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 contract 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 IT resources, such as Microsoft Servers and workstations as well as equipment obsolescence upgrades, to include base station radios.
