The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Special Programs Group, supporting the Sensitive Activities GEOINT Enterprise Program Office, is seeking contractor capabilities to develop, operate, and maintain information technology architecture for collection planning, scheduling, and tasking of Compartmented Access Program and Special Access Program sensors. This Request for Information falls under NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services and requires contractors to demonstrate how they can meet critical requirements for supporting highly classified sensor operations. The procurement involves maintaining NGA's specialized IT systems that support sensitive intelligence collection activities. All future acquisition documentation will be released through the classified Acquisition Research Center, requiring contractors to have registered accounts and appropriate security clearances to access information. The current RFI response deadline is June 25, 2025, with the original posting date of May 30, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in this pre-solicitation notice. The procurement does not include specific quantities of goods or defined service timelines, as this is an information-gathering phase to assess contractor capabilities. Interested parties must contact the ACE IT helpdesk at the provided email address or phone numbers to obtain access to the classified systems where detailed requirements will eventually be published. The classified nature of this work suggests that successful contractors will need to maintain appropriate security clearances and facilities to handle compartmented and special access program information. Given the sensitive nature of the intelligence collection systems involved, the actual contract timeline and performance requirements will likely be detailed in the classified solicitation documents.
