These training devices require maintenance, operation, and modification support that is outside the scope of a Contractor Operation and Maintenance Support (COMS) Contract. The request for proposals is being issued with the intent to award a Time and Materials Contract. The Contractor shall provide all necessary personnel to perform the tasks delineated in the SOW. As the only USCG site with OFT resources, daily OFT performance is critical for a steady pipeline of mission ready aviators necessary to meet USCG national security responsibilities.
