About this opportunity
The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a special notice regarding a sole source contract modification with the Institute for Credentialling Excellence (ICE). The modification aims to add four options and a new Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) for recertification to an existing contract focused on accrediting GEOINT Professional Certification (GPC) through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). NGA currently administers 10 certifications in various development stages, with Department of Defense (DoD) directives mandating NCCA accreditation for each GEOINT Professional Certification. ICE is recognized as the only known accrediting body capable of conducting certification program accreditation through NCCA. The special notice follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2 guidelines for synopsizing proposed contract actions.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit written notification demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements outlined in the attached Performance Work Statement by 11 am EST on June 17, 2025. The contract is a non-personal services agreement for consulting and administrative support to maintain accreditation for 11 DoD-sponsored certification programs, with a one-year base period and four 12-month option years. The primary objective is to provide guidance on meeting NCCA's 21 standards, which cover areas such as certification program purpose, governance, and stakeholder responsibilities. While the government will evaluate responses, the decision to compete the procurement remains solely at their discretion. The contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed Price and primarily performed in Washington, DC, with no security clearance required. Contractors will not need access to NGA information systems or networks, and the work involves ensuring compliance with various professional testing and credentialing guidelines.
