REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Office of Protective Services

1.0 DESCRIPTION & PURPOSE

1.1 The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in support of the Office of Protective

Services is seeking information on how an interested contractor could provide a comprehensive, fully integrated, public safety and police administration system. The desired solution must unify multiple facets of law enforcement technology into a single, cohesive platform. This includes, but is not limited to, a core police administration system, body-worn cameras, TASER 10 energy weapons, in-vehicle mobile data terminals (MDTs), and automated license plate readers

(ALPRs).

1.2 The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to identify sources capable of providing a comprehensive, fully integrated, police administration system. The desired solution must unify multiple facets of law enforcement technology into a single, cohesive platform. This includes, but is not limited to, a core police administration system, body-worn cameras, TASER 10, in-vehicle mobile data terminals (MDTs), and automated license plate readers (ALPRs).

A critical requirement of this system is the capability for seamless data integration with the

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to support advanced operational and analytical functions.

Purpose of this Request for Information

The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research and gather detailed information from potential vendors about their ability to deliver a fully integrated law enforcement technology ecosystem. This information will be used to understand the current landscape of available solutions, find qualified vendors, and assess the feasibility of potential future procurement.

Specifically, this RFI seeks to:

• Identify companies that can provide a holistic solution encompassing a police administration system, body-worn cameras, TASER 10s, mobile data terminals, and license plate readers.

• Understand the integration capabilities of proposed systems, with a particular focus on the ability to integrate with and leverage data from the National Geospatial-Intelligence

Agency.

• Gather information on the technical architecture, data management protocols, security features, and operational workflows of potential solutions.

• Assess the maturity and readiness of available technologies and vendor capabilities to meet the specified requirements.

• Inform the development of a potential future Request for Proposal (RFP) by clarifying requirements and showing potential challenges and opportunities.

1.3 THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not form a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, NGA is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not prevent participation in any future RFP, if any is issued.

2.0 BACKGROUND

NGA has a mission-critical need for comprehensive and fully integrated law enforcement and security solution to support its protective service mission. The current operational environment demands advanced technological capabilities to ensure the safety and security of NGA personnel, facilities, and assets. To meet these evolving requirements, NGA needs a modern, unified system that includes a Police Administration System, Mobile Data Terminals, License Plate Readers, Body Worn Cameras, and TASER 10 energy weapons. A critical part of this requirement is that all elements must seamlessly integrate to create a single, cohesive ecosystem. Furthermore, the entire solution must integrate with and adhere to the NGA's specific and stringent IT infrastructure requirements to ensure operational integrity, data security, and interoperability with existing enterprise systems.

2.1 PLANNED ACQUISITION: Statement of Objectives.

2.2 PERFORMANCE:

2.2.1 PERIOD (POP): TBD

2.2.2 LOCATION(S): Saint Louis, MO. Springfield, VA. Arnold MO.

2.3 CONSTRAINTS AND LIMITATIONS: The following are anticipated to apply to this acquisition:

The proposed solution is not a standalone system and must be fully compatible and interoperable with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) existing enterprise IT architecture. This includes adherence to NGA's stringent security protocols, authentication services, data interoperability standards, and network infrastructure. Respondents should describe their approach to integrating with a complex, high-security federal IT environment.

Operational Environment Overview: The solution will work within NGA's secure, controlled environment. Key considerations for industry partners should include:

• High-Security Posture: All hardware, software, and data handling must follow

Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoD) security directives.

• Geospatial Data Centricity: The system must be capable of ingesting, processing, and leveraging NGA-native geospatial data formats and services.

• High Availability: The system is mission-critical and will require high levels of availability and reliability, with defined uptime and failover capabilities.

Government-Furnished Information/Equipment (GFI/GFE): The Government will not provide any

GFI or GFE during this RFI phase. All demonstrations, proofs-of-concept, and proposed solutions should be based on commercially available offerings.

Proprietary Solutions: While the Government is open to considering proprietary solutions, a strong preference will be given to systems built on open standards and non-proprietary interfaces to ensure long-term flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in. Respondents should detail their use of open standards and provide a clear data rights strategy.

2.4 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: Personnel Security Clearances: All contractor personnel proposed to perform services under this acquisition, including development, implementation, project management, and on-site support, must have an active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) security clearance at the time of proposal or quotation submission. Personnel without the requisite clearance at the time of submission will not be considered. Responders must be prepared to provide verification of clearances upon request.

System Accreditation: The proposed solution must be capable of meeting the stringent security requirements of the Intelligence Community (IC) and the Department of Defense (DoD). The system will be required to undergo a full security assessment and authorization process in accordance with the Risk Management Framework (RMF) as defined in DoD Instruction

8510.01 and obtain Authority to Operate (ATO) on NGA networks.

Information Assurance Compliance: The solution must follow all applicable IC Directives

(ICDs), including but not limited to ICD 503 ("Intelligence Community Information Technology

Systems Security Risk Management"), as well as NGA-specific security policies and implementation guides.

Data Security: All data, both at rest and in transit, must be encrypted using FIPS 140-2 (or successor) validated cryptographic modules. The system must ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all data processed and stored.

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM): Responders will be required to demonstrate a robust

SCRM plan to mitigate the risk of tampered or counterfeit components within the hardware and software supply chain. The Government reserves the right to review and approve SCRM plans and practices.

2.5 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST: This acquisition is for commercial and non-developmental items. Per FAR Part 9.5, please discuss any performance which may lead to an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) and how the Offeror would mitigate, avoid, or neutralize the conflict. All Offerors must disclose any potential OCIs, including but not limited to situations where the Offeror or its affiliates have provided systems engineering, technical direction, or advisory services to the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA) that could affect the objectivity of this procurement. Should a potential OCI exist, the Offeror must submit a comprehensive mitigation plan with their response.
