Background The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under solicitation number 52800PR260007579 for brand name INVS Gold Service FLIR Latitude software license maintenance support for Fiscal Year 2026. This acquisition is specifically set aside for small business concerns, emphasizing the agency's commitment to supporting small businesses in fulfilling its mission. Work Details The contract requires the provision of maintenance support for the INVS Gold Service FLIR Latitude software license. This is a brand-name requirement, and no substitutes will be accepted. The contractor must ensure that all products and services delivered conform to Section 508 Standards, which mandate accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Key requirements include: - All products must comply with Section 508 Standards as per 36 C.F.R. § 1194.1 & Apps. A, C & D. - An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) must be provided for each ICT item offered, detailing how it meets applicable Section 508 requirements. - The contractor must not reduce the original ICT item's level of Section 508 conformance during installation or configuration services. Period of Performance The contract period includes an option year from July 1, 2029, to June 30, 2030, and another option year from July 1, 2030, to June 30, 2031. Bidder Requirements Bidders must comply with specific requirements related to Section 508 Standards. They are required to provide an ACR using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 2.0 or later and must demonstrate their ability to meet accessibility standards through detailed explanations and evaluation methods. Additionally, contractors must possess knowledge and skills necessary to address revised Section 508 Standards. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on multiple prior USCG contracts for the same brand-name FLIR INVS Gold Service / FLIR Latitude software licensing maintenance support. Prior awards include Alxtel (e.g., $25,572 for 07/01/22–06/30/23; $23,214 for 07/01/24–06/30/25; and $23,190 for 07/01/25–06/30/26) and F-Concepts ($25,328 for 07/01/23–06/30/24), each described as INVS Gold Service software maintenance/licensing renewal with a one-year period of performance. The FY26 requirement is consistent with these renewals, indicating it is likely a continuation of the same maintenance support effort for the existing software licenses.
