About this file
This document appears to be a set of vendor questions and agency responses related to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) for a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Automated Analytics for Maritime Law Enforcement & Security (AA MLES) contract.
The key details are:
- The RFP has a NAICS code of 541511, and is set aside 100% for small businesses.
- The requirement is for broad area search across up to 10 million sq km of open ocean at least once per day, as well as tracking vessels 30m or larger over time from EO/SAR imagery.
- Vendors requested clarification on the size of the Area of Interest (AOI) to be covered daily, as this would significantly impact pricing. NGA confirmed the 10 million sq km requirement.
- NGA stated they are using SAM.gov as the solicitation mechanism rather than leveraging an existing Economic Indicator Monitoring (EIM) contract.
- The anticipated contract type is Firm Fixed Price.

| MDA-AA-MLES RFP Vendor Questions | ||
| RFP Section | Comment/Question | NGA Response |
| SOW | 3.2.1 Coverage requirement states “Provide broad area search across up to 10 million km2 of open ocean, i.e., any area from the coastline outward, at least once per day in AOIs specified by the Government.” And when combined with 3.2.3 “Track vessels (30m or larger) over time as they are observed from multiple EO/SAR imagery.” would require the vendor to price in satellite imagery (EO and SAR) collection for 10 million sqkm per day, which is a significant cost, in order for NGA to standardize pricing for evaluation would the government confirm it requires the collection of 10 million km2 of SAR and or EO per day or provide the size of the AOI anticipated to be specified by the Government for daily observations from imagery? This will assist the vendors and NGA in establishing comparable pricing. | NGA requires the collection of 10 million square km of open ocean at least once per day. Offerors should propose accordingly and IAW a manner consistent with their techncial approach. |
| SOW | NGA has a current contract for the same scope called Economic Indicator Monitoring (EIM). EIM is a multi-award IDIQ, with a small business prime, that can satisfy this requirement today. What is the reason NGA is not leveraging the EIM contract? | Acquisition planning for this requirement determined use of SAM.gov as the most appropriate mechanism for soliciting this requirement, all factors considered. |
| General | We see this classified as a Small Business Set-Aside and wanted to confirm this is accurate. | Correct, this requirement is set-aside 100% for small business. |
