Enterprise Support for Administrative Services II (ESAS-II)

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is preparing to initiate a follow-on contract for Enterprise Support for Administrative Services II (ESAS-II), targeted exclusively to certain small business categories including HUBZone, 8(a), Women-owned, and Service-disabled Veteran-owned Small Businesses. The procurement will follow an Advisory Down-Select approach with phased submissions that begin with a draft solicitation in mid-August 2020, requiring interested vendors to submit an "Intent to Propose" by mid-September 2020. Non-selected vendors will be notified by late September 2020, after which final proposal submissions based on the final solicitation will be due by late October 2020. The anticipated contract award date is March 2021. This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561110 and falls under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the NGA office in Springfield, Virginia. The government has stipulated that questions will not be entertained during the pre-solicitation phase but will allow for inquiries after the release of the draft solicitation. Key points of contact for this acquisition are Contract Officer Grace V. Ayers and Gina Napier, with all communications coordinated through the NGA. The structured phased approach aims to streamline vendor selection and ensure alignment with the agency’s small business participation goals.
