Commercial Solutions Opening for Data and Analytics for Maritime Domain Awareness

Background
The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) is issuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to acquire data and analytics aimed at enhancing maritime domain awareness. The goal is to improve the detection, location, identification, and tracking of vessels at sea, including both cooperative and non-cooperative targets. This initiative seeks innovative commercial solutions that can integrate with existing systems, particularly SeaVision, rather than standalone platforms.

Work Details
The contract will focus on acquiring solutions that provide:
- Raw data, processed data, or end-to-end analytics for maritime vessel tracking.
- Integration capabilities with the SeaVision system.
- Data delivery via automated machine-to-machine processes such as AWS S3, RESTful API, or TCP/IP stream.

Minimum Technical Data Requirements include:
- Analytical Result: Outputs like vessel position and predicted track.
- Source Identification: Clear identification of data sources used for analysis.
- Methodology Description: High-level description of analytic processes or algorithms used.

Examples of desired data sources include:
- Automatic Identification System (AIS) data
- Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data
- Radio Frequency (RF) data
- Electro-Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) data
- Data from Unmanned/Uncrewed Vehicles and surveillance platforms.

Desired analytics functions include:
- Automated vessel identification
- Anomaly detection including AIS/RF spoofing analytics
- Route prediction based on historical patterns.

Period of Performance
The solicitation encourages solution briefs by February 20, 2026, with a final deadline for submission on January 7, 2027.

Place of Performance
The geographic location for performance is implied to be related to maritime operations.
