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.
