About this file
This file is a Request for Information (RFI) questions and requirements document for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) Applicant Tracking System (ATS) procurement. The NGA's Human Development Talent Acquisition Office issued this RFI on a pre-solicitation basis to gather industry input on ATS solutions that will support federal hiring operations. Responses are due by April 15, 2026 at 1600 Eastern Time. The RFI is not a solicitation and does not constitute a request for proposals at this time; it is designed to assist the government in developing a quality solicitation that meets agency mission needs.
The document outlines 26 key requirements and evaluation questions across two primary categories: security and functionality. Security requirements address compatibility with Department of Defense standards including DoDI 8510.01 Risk Management Framework, DISA STIG policies, NIST SP 800-53 controls, DoD Cloud Security Requirements, and DoD personal identity verification systems. Additional security questions address SCIF personnel clearances, FedRamp authorization status, and Section 508 accessibility compliance. Functional requirements mandate that the ATS solution provide AI-powered candidate screening and ranking, bias mitigation measures, interview scheduling, offer letter generation, integration with federal HR systems (ServiceNow, PeopleSoft), compliance with OPM's 80-day Hiring Model and Executive Orders 13932, 14170, and the Chance to Compete Act, analytics tracking for federal hiring metrics, automated applicant communications, resume repository capabilities with AI agents, and candidate onboarding support. The solution must also include comprehensive training materials and documentation for organic sustainment.
