About this opportunity
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Edge Capabilities Office has published a Special Notice announcing the posting of a Request for Information (RFI) on the classified Intelligence Community Acquisition Research Center (ARC) website. This notice, posted on August 5, 2025, is not the actual RFI but serves to inform potential contractors of its availability on the classified platform. The RFI seeks information from contractors who can provide resilient edge solutions that replicate data from CONUS data holdings to forward deployed infrastructure while supporting AI/ML capabilities. The system must include on-premise virtual infrastructure and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions for containerized applications. The solution must be capable of operating in both connected and disconnected states to meet operational requirements.
The RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Contractors must submit questions by 5:00 PM ET on August 19, 2025, with final responses due by 5:00 PM ET on September 15, 2025, though there appears to be a discrepancy in the notice regarding the final deadline date. Only electronic submissions through the classified ARC website will be accepted, with no alternative submission methods permitted. Interested parties must possess a classified ARC account to access the RFI, and those without accounts can contact the ACE IT Helpdesk for registration assistance. The government reserves the right to conduct follow-up discussions with respondents and emphasizes that no payment will be provided for submitted information, with all data becoming non-returnable upon submission.
