About this opportunity
The Defense Intelligence Agency, through the Virginia Contracting Activity (VACA), has issued a Special Notice soliciting capability-specific information from qualified contractors. This Request for Information (RFI) concerns classified work at the SECRET//NOFORN level and addresses the development of an Enterprise Data Layer system for the Defense Counterintelligence and HUMINT Enterprise. The RFI documents, including the draft Statement of Objectives and Market Survey Questionnaire, are available through the National Security Agency's (NSA) Acquisition Resource Center and the National Reconnaissance Office's (NRO) Acquisition Research Center. This solicitation represents the government's effort to gather market intelligence prior to formal procurement actions. Contractors seeking to respond must have access to these secure platforms and understand the security classification requirements associated with this effort.
The objective of this RFI is to gather in-depth information regarding the architecture, development, implementation, sustainment, and transition services and technologies necessary to establish an Enterprise Data Layer that functions as the System of Data Record Holding and Disclosure & Dissemination Engine for counterintelligence and HUMINT operations. All contractors interested in responding must comply with the specific instructions provided in both the NRO and NSA ARC postings and must possess authorized access to these acquisition research centers before submission. Eligibility to participate requires that entities be qualified to handle classified information at the SECRET//NOFORN level and demonstrate relevant capabilities in enterprise data systems architecture and management. The critical deadline for RFI submissions is November 26, 2025, at 4:00 PM (EST). This Special Notice represents an important opportunity for contractors with expertise in secure, enterprise-scale data management and intelligence community systems to engage with the Defense Intelligence Agency's future procurement objectives.
