About this opportunity
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is seeking an online language training subscription service to provide comprehensive language learning capabilities for its employees across 59 languages, with priority focus on Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Korean, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. The Request for Information (RFI) seeks to gather market research on potential vendors who can provide an on-demand learning platform accessible from NGA workstations, home computers, and mobile devices. Interested contractors must submit a 5-page white paper response by 5:00 pm ET on April 18, 2025, via email to specified NGA contacts. The white paper should include administrative information, company experience with language training services, capabilities, and recommendations. Evaluation will likely focus on vendor experience, platform comprehensiveness, and ability to meet specific language training requirements including critical thinking activities, grammar instruction, and cultural context.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category, though the RFI encourages small business participation. The contract is structured with a base period from September 2025 to August 2026 and four potential option years extending through August 2030. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract will be a Firm Fixed Price for unlimited access to the language training platform. The service must support language proficiency improvements aligned with DoD standards and include monthly technical support reports and utilization metrics. Cybersecurity requirements include implementing NIST SP 800-171 standards and mandatory reporting of any cyber incidents within 72 hours of discovery. The unclassified contract does not require contractors to access NGA information systems or networks, and contractors may utilize third-party language instruction services to meet the requirements.
