The U.S. Coast Guard is preparing a significant new requirement focused on advancing its enterprise data and artificial intelligence capabilities, with an estimated value exceeding $100 million. The effort, titled Data, Analytics, and AI Support, is expected to be released around June 18, 2026, and awarded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.
This firm-fixed-price opportunity will be competed under the General Services Administration Schedule, signaling a structured acquisition approach leveraging pre-qualified vendors. The period of performance is anticipated to run through September 28, 2031.
The scope centers on supporting the Coast Guard’s Data, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (DAAI) organization. Core activities include standing up and operating enterprise and domain-level business lines, delivering strategic analysis, and advancing AI capability development. The contractor will also be responsible for process and performance improvement initiatives, enterprise metadata management, and enhancements to system engineering lifecycle processes.
Technical support to data and analytics teams is a key component, alongside broader efforts to modernize data architecture and engineering practices across the service. Work will span 11 mission and enterprise domains defined by the Coast Guard’s Data Analytics Technical Authority, including Personnel Readiness, Intelligence, Logistics, Finance, Operations, Cyber, C4IT, Legal, Acquisition, and Capabilities.
With its scale, cross-domain reach, and emphasis on AI-driven transformation, this requirement represents a major upcoming opportunity for firms specializing in data engineering, advanced analytics, and enterprise AI enablement within federal environments.
