Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard (Department of Homeland Security) has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole-source contract to Realization Technologies, Inc. for a Planning & Execution Design Workshop for the USCGC Campbell (WMEC-909). This workshop aims to develop a realistic and executable plan for the vessel's availability, with a non-negotiable 10.5-month delivery timeline. The justification for this sole-source award is detailed in the attached JOTFOC. Responses to this special notice are due by May 25, 2026.
Scope of Work
The required services involve a Planning and Execution Design workshop, lasting two to three consecutive weeks. This workshop will focus on establishing ambitious target timelines, breaking down the project into workstreams, understanding dependencies, challenging durations, identifying and mitigating constraints, and designing execution management processes. The core approach will utilize the proprietary "Focus & Finish" methodology to ensure faster and on-time delivery of the USCGC Campbell's availability. A critical requirement is the 10.5-month delivery timeline, which must account for preparatory work, supply chain readiness, technical/commercial approvals, and resource contention.
Contract & Timeline
This is a Special Notice for an intended sole-source award for professional support services (PSC R410). The notice was published on May 20, 2026. Responses to this Special Notice are due by May 25, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, despite the sole-source intent, which implies potential for small businesses to demonstrate capability if they can meet the unique requirements.
Justification for Sole Source
The Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) explains that Realization Technologies, Inc. is the sole developer and provider of the proprietary 'Focus & Finish' methodology. This methodology is deemed essential for the project's success in meeting the unique government requirements for the USCGC Campbell availability. Market research confirmed no other vendors possess this specific methodology or the required depth of experience, leading to the decision to restrict competition.
