This RFI seeks principal VHF Class A DSC Radio design particulars and operational features that are not currently in operation and have the potential to meet USCG requirements. Furthermore, these radios shall meet the USCG requirements with significant development. Information submitted must be based on: 1) proven currently in-service radios that are capable of being built in the United States (US); 2) service radios that are capable of being licensed for building in the US; or, 3) building a variant of radios capable of being licensed in the US. New and unproven (not in service) designs are of interest in this request and will be reviewed. Recognizing that proven designs can not meet all the desired requirements listed in section I of the below listed requirements, designs within or near the range of characteristics identified in section I of the below listed requirements may be submitted for consideration. The information requested is intended to include, but not be limited to, engineering and operational design details, radio developmental history, operational history, user contacts and other information that would be helpful for making programmatic decisions. Specifically, the requested minimum and desired information is listed in section II of the below listed requirements. Any restrictive markings included on the data shall be clearly marked. In responding to this request, data and information (drawings, documents, tables, graphs, etc.) may be submitted in different formats and media (paper or electronic files).
