About this opportunity
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), a defense agency within the Department of Defense, has issued a Special Notice for a sole source modification to an existing contract with Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH) for the GEOINT Tradecraft Learning Contract (GTLC) Extension. The notice, posted on December 17, 2024, with a response deadline of January 3, 2025, outlines the agency's intent to extend the current contract under FAR 6.302-1 authority. The modification is designed to provide continuity of support for NGA's educational and training needs while allowing time for acquisition planning of a follow-on contract. The contract falls under the Professional and Management Development Training NAICS category and focuses on providing specialized GEOINT curriculum support.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to extend the current contract for 12 months to ensure uninterrupted support for NGA College (NGC) operations, including program management, course instruction, curriculum creation, and development of future capabilities. NGA argues that changing contractors would result in substantial cost duplication and potentially create mission-critical delays due to the complex 120-day instructor qualification process. While this is not a competitive solicitation, the agency will accept written notifications from firms believing they can meet the requirement by 12:00 pm EST on January 3rd. Interested contractors must provide detailed supporting evidence demonstrating their ability to comply with the contract requirements. The government retains sole discretion to evaluate responses and determine whether to compete the procurement, though no competitive solicitation is currently planned.
Notice text
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source modification to an existing contract with Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to continue supporting the GEOINT Tradecraft Learning Contract (GTLC). This extension will enable NGA time to perform the acquisition planning process of a follow-on and support a transition period to ensure no disruption to the current support to NGA employees. A change in the current provider would result in both substantial duplication of costs, and an extended period of time in which NGA would not be provided with necessary certified Instructors in accordance with the DoD mandated Fundamentals of Instructional Facilitation (FIF) and 120 days instruction qualification process that could result in mission delays. Therefore, no competition is being sought currently. The sole source modification to the existing contract will provide NGA with tailored NGA College (NGC) support that provides GEOINT curriculum Program Management, course instruction, course maintenance, course curriculum creation, and evolving future capabilities to support the GEOINT Enterprise. The period of performance is anticipated to be a 12-month base ordering period after contract extension. This is a special notice prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2, Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions and is not a request for competitive proposals. A solicitation will not be posted. However, any firm that believes it can meet this requirement may give written notification to the Contract Specialist no later than 12:00 pm EST on Friday January 3rd. Supporting evidence must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the requirement. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
