Request for Information (RFI): GRFN Follow-on

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in support of the GEOINT Repository For Needs (GRFN) Follow-on contract is seeking information on how an interested contractor would maintain the current GEOINT Information Management Systems (GIMS) baseline, modernize the code baseline and integrate new sensors for tasking by NGA Source, NGA Sensor Programs and other external mission partner agencies. New capabilities from externally developed contractors may also need integration into the GIMS technical baseline.
