The Coast Guard has revised its acquisition strategy for CG-LIMS in several important ways: 1. The software and implementation will be purchased separately. The software will be purchased first. We anticipate RFQ release in late May 2011 for a GSA software purchase. Evaluation preference will be given to small businesses. 2. The project may be re-designated as a non-major acquisition, which will allow us to move more quickly. 3. The operational requirements document (ORD) is largely unchanged since first shared on FedBizOpps in January 2010. The ORD, as signed by the USCG Vice-Commandant on 27 April 2011, is attached. 4. An acquisition strategy for the implementation has not been finalized. Among other things, we are considering use of an existing Coast Guard IDIQ.
