The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) issues this Request for Information (RFI) to find interested vendors to provide data ingest and management; condition and cataloging; disclosure and release; dissemination services; user interface; and modernization of the backlog.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is both a Combat Support Agency (CSA) of the DoD and a member of the United States Intelligence Community (IC). NGA provides critical support to the national decision-making process and the operational readiness of America’s military forces. As a member of the IC, the NGA mission is to provide timely, relevant, and accurate GEOINT in support of National Security objectives. NGA is responsible for GEOINT dissemination. To remain operationally effective within a fluid, unconventional domain, NGA Source (S) and its mission partners in Dissemination of Mapping, Charting and Geodesy (MC&G) must advance in its capability to capture and share its NGA Source products at the speed of our customer’s need. The GEOINT user community requires the capability to easily and efficiently discover and access Foundation GEOINT (FG) Contents per security domain.
Two of the Source offices supported will be the GEOINT Information Group (ST) and Foundation GEOINT Group (SF).
The main objective of this requirement is for the contractor to modernize a system to provide the optimal user experience and become a trusted Information Technology (IT) and Source mission partner essential for the daily dissemination of MC&G products. SCDS shall be modular and modernized to be technologically relevant. SCDS will provide an easy-to-use, unified point of access for NGA customers (domestic and foreign) to discover and retrieve Source Foundation products.
