NGA Solicitation for Behavioral Support Science Services

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency seeks behavioral science support services, including clinical psychologist labor and other direct costs, with proposals due July 22, 2026, and questions due July 6. This is a Total Small Business set-aside, firm-fixed-price contract with a 66-month performance period: a 12-month base year (September 30, 2026 to September 29, 2027) plus four one-year options extending through September 29, 2031, plus a six-month FAR 52.217-8 extension.

Place of performance is NGA East Campus in Springfield, Virginia, with occasional work at other government agencies and telework available upon Contracting Officer Representative approval. The requirement specifies two clinical psychologist full-time equivalents (1,920 hours annually each) supporting NGA's Security and Installation Directorate Counter Insider Threat Office Behavioral Science Team. Each psychologist must hold a doctoral degree in Clinical or Counseling Psychology from an APA-accredited program, maintain a full unrestricted license to practice in the United States, and possess minimum ten years' operational or national security psychology experience. All contractor personnel must maintain active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances with favorable SCI adjudication at proposal submission and counterintelligence-scope polygraph examination; those without clearances obtained within five years must complete polygraph processing within 90 days. The prime contractor must maintain a valid Facility Clearance at the highest classification level involved.

Contractors must submit backup personnel or a qualified bench to cover vacancies, leave, illness, training, clearance delays, and unexpected losses. NAICS code is 621330, Offices of Mental Health Practitioners; PSC code is R499, Support-Professional: Other. Technical evaluation (weighted more heavily than price) prioritizes clinical psychologist resumes as the most important sub-factor, followed by technical/management approach, then corporate experience. Security evaluation is pass/fail; failure on any security sub-factor renders proposals ineligible for award. Offerors must possess active Top Secret Facility Clearance at proposal submission.
