The Business and Logistics Management Support Services contract was to be a multiple-award small business vehicle. No word yet on what will replace it, if anything.
After working on the contract for almost a year-and-a-half, the Coast Guard has outright cancelled its $500 million Business and Logistics Management Support Services procurement.
The Coast Guard's SAM.gov notice on Thursday offered no explanation behind the single sentence: “This opportunity is cancelled and will not be solicited.”
Officials at the Coast Guard declined to comment, but said to continue watching Sam.gov and the Homeland Security Department’s Acquisition Planning Forecasts System for updates.
Attempts to reach two incumbents on the contracts BLMSS would have replaced were unsuccessful.
The Coast Guard was consolidating requirements from two blanket purchase agreements into the multiple-award BLMSS contract. TeleSolv holds the BPA for business support services and D&G Support Services is the incumbent for logistics support.
The Coast Guard said in solicitation documents it would make up to five awards to small businesses.
The Coast Guard released its original acquisition plan for BLMSS in February 2024 and updated it one year later. A solicitation was to be released in April with proposals due in May. Awards were planned for October.
But the Coast Guard has been silent since its February 2025 announced.
Some of the services BLMSS would have covered include analytics, acquisition management, business governance, cost estimating, and IT infrastructure support.
