NTIA FSDS - Sources Sought Synopsis Notice

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration seeks to modernize its Federal Spectrum Data Systems through the Federal Spectrum Decision Support System program. NTIA processes over 650,000 frequency assignment records annually and requires solutions to strengthen security, modernize legacy platforms, enhance analysis capabilities, streamline processes, and improve data accessibility. Interested parties should submit an eight page capability statement by November 17th demonstrating experience in areas such as federal spectrum management, spectrum engineering analysis, and software development. NTIA will evaluate responses to help determine acquisition strategy and whether to set aside the requirement for small businesses.

There is no set-aside designation specified. Potential NAICS codes include 541511, 541512, and 541513, while the predominate PSC code would likely be D302. Current contractors were not named but the effort aims to award a contract before the end of fiscal year 2024 to support evolving NTIA's systems through approaches such as microservices and a common data lake. Budget details were not provided but the modernization program seeks to develop a set of integrated, secure solutions through frequent minimum viable products.
