A research request was recently provided to OS AI from an SDVOSB and VETS 2 Prime looking for details related to an upcoming RFP out of the US Coast Guard for a 5-year contract to assist with the continued development and maturation of this repository which will contain all legacy Coast Guard financial, contracting and procurement information, and will be the key program to support future contracting and procurement data analytics resulting in the ability to better inform C&P transformation efforts. 

We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details provided by the requestor; 2) some key points of contact; and 3) related pursuit/capture data.

Specifically, the Contractor shall provide Oracle Database Management; SAS Viya Administration & Training; SME Data Support; Report/Dashboard Build; and Documentation & Controls.
