Holmes Request for Information (RFI)

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is seeking technical expertise and services to maintain, develop, implement, sustain, and modernize software supporting mission-critical capabilities for The Globe and GEOINT Search and Retrieval (GSR) systems. This procurement consolidates two legacy contracts: Agile Web Presence II (AWPII) and Yorktown II (YTII), requiring comprehensive support services including program management, DevOps, software maintenance, content management, and systems engineering across multiple security domains. Contractors must possess Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances and be subject to Counterintelligence-Scope Polygraph examinations, with key personnel requirements including Program Manager, DevOps Lead, Lead Software Engineer, Lead Systems Engineer, Lead Content Manager, and Information System Security Manager positions. Performance measures demand stringent requirements including 99% system availability, rapid incident response for priority issues within one hour, 95% accuracy of configuration items, and zero critical/high security vulnerabilities. Interested contractors must submit a white paper response by 5:00 PM ET on June 26, 2025, via email to Erika Hessler, with the white paper limited to either 6 or 10 pages depending on the version of the RFI referenced.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and represents a consolidation follow-on effort from the two aforementioned legacy contracts, though specific incumbent contractor names are not identified in the documentation. The contract structure includes a 5-year term with one base year and four one-year option periods, plus an additional six-month extension possibility, with an estimated start date of May 2027. Work will be performed across multiple locations including Springfield, VA, St. Louis, MO, and Arnold, MO, supporting operations across various security domains including NGANet, SECNet, SBUNet, and Stone Ghost networks. The contractor will be expected to deliver services through agile methodologies, with performance targets including 90% delivery of planned user stories per sprint and 90% code coverage by automated tests. While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, the scope encompasses comprehensive IT system operations and maintenance for two major NGA enterprise systems supporting the agency's geospatial intelligence mission.
