About this opportunity
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking sources to deliver software and engineering support for Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) capabilities. The contractor will be responsible for providing personnel, equipment, software licenses, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other necessary items to perform services as defined in the Statement of Work. To be considered for this opportunity, offerors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and possess TS//SCI clearances. The RFI documentation is available exclusively on the Intelligence Community-Acquisition Research Center (IC-ARC) Classified website, with access requiring a multi-step registration process involving both unclassified and classified system authentication. Interested parties can submit questions and responses directly to Emily Barr (emily.e.barr@coe.ic.gov) and Jessica Isaak (jessica.l.isaak@coe.ic.gov), with the response deadline set for May 8, 2025.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity, suggesting it is open to a broad range of qualified contractors. The NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services suggests the contract is primarily focused on technical and software engineering services. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice, the comprehensive scope of required support indicates a potentially significant contract. The opportunity is classified and requires advanced security clearances, which will likely limit the pool of eligible contractors to those with robust security infrastructure and cleared personnel. Potential contractors must navigate a complex access process, including creating accounts on both unclassified and classified systems, and may need to physically visit the ACE (Acquisition Capabilities Environment) Reading Room in Chantilly, Virginia, to complete their registration and access the full solicitation details.
