The MFD systems shall be procured as kits and must consist of a primary flight display (PFD) and a navigation display (ND) for the pilot and copilot areas of the USCG?s HC-130H digital cockpit upgrade. This requirement seeks to procure an estimated quantity of seventeen ship sets over the 5-year period, subject to the government?s continuing need and available funding. The Coast Guard also intends to procure long-term system sustainment for the five-year contractual period.
