1.0 INTRODUCTION

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) delivers Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) information that provides a decisive advantage to policymakers, warfighters, intelligence professionals, humanitarian efforts and first responders. NGA supports the National System for Geospatial Intelligence

(NSG), which supports our Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security and the

Intelligence Community. NGA leads the world in timely, relevant, accurate and actionable GEOINT.

An important subset of GEOINT, called Foundation GEOINT (FG) describes/models the physical and political characteristics of the Earth. The FG Program, which has Geomatics, Geography, Aeronautical and Maritime components, facilitates the integration of geospatial data, information, and services. It focuses on global digital data coverage with refined data maintenance to provide mission-essential content, where, when, and how it is needed before it is requested.

3 | P a g e

NGA, as a GEOINT Broker, will provide the means and mechanisms to address customer and partner needs and developing the strategies to satisfy the information needs. In doing so, it will significantly alter the way those needs are met, more fully leveraging the capabilities and content of national, DoD, commercial, and international partners and suppliers.

NGA’s Source office is moving towards a Broker Operating Model. The following precepts are intended to allow Foundation GEOINT Suppliers to operate at maximum effectiveness in a Broker Operating

Model. Those that apply specifically to this contract will be described in the sections that follow this introduction:

Suppliers to the Geomatics, Aeronautical, Maritime, and Geography programs must be Cloud native.

Suppliers shall provide their functional content holdings to the cloud for NGA.

Suppliers must be in step with NGA’s cloud implementation shift to the unclassified cloud environment for applicable data and products.

Any regions or functional areas that suppliers maintain for NGA must not only contain NGA’s existing content, but also be augmented with open content, human geography and other emerging sources.

Suppliers must utilize and interface with NGA/S Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) capabilities and processes.

Change detection will drive areas that need updating. NGA will not rework areas unless change has occurred, unless otherwise driven by customer requirements.

NGA Source will no longer provide source packages. Our Contractors must be able to acquire the source required for content generation and services.

All content must be properly tagged and adhere to NGA approved standards. This includes necessary tagging for Identity and Access Management (IdAM) to allow for cross-domain movement of content.

Supplier content must exploit NGA’s emerging Enterprise GIS capabilities and GEOINT Services.

Services, as used in this SOW means: an automated program, interface, application, or engine that performs a defined action that can be found, invoked, and executed, that preforms an action on geospatial data or information to transform, translate, or convert it to a more useable format or to update, distribute, or integrate it into an existing database or dataset for use.

2.0 SCOPE
