The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to award a sole source contract to Omni Federal Inc for the GEOINT Capability Development 3 (GCD3) program, a critical follow-on to the GCD2 contract, aimed at completing the development of the Quality Assurance Capability (QAC) application to replace the aging Geospatial Analysis and Integrity Tool (GAIT), which is set to be sunset in FY28. GCD3 will ensure continuity of mission-critical geospatial co-production capabilities used internationally and in defense operations by maintaining and finalizing QAC, which currently depends on an incomplete Technical Reference Document (TRD 5.0). The contract will support a full range of software development activities including programming, user-centric design, test-driven development, continuous integration and deployment, open-source software use, QA, and Agile maintenance, all to be delivered under a firm fixed-price structure with a 7-month base period and two optional periods totaling 24 months from June 2026 to June 2028. The decision to award this contract on a sole source basis stems from the necessity to avoid a 12-month delay and over $2.1 million in additional costs that would result from transitioning to a new vendor at this late stage of QAC development, particularly given Omni Federal’s deep institutional knowledge as co-developer of the QAC ecosystem with NGA staff. Their entrenched expertise in the existing application stack, architecture, and geospatial problem-solving methodologies makes them uniquely positioned to deliver on-time without disruption. This action is authorized under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), which permits sole source awards when continuity from a prior competitively awarded contract is essential for economy and efficiency. While the notice invites all responsible sources to submit capability statements, NGA retains full discretion to proceed without competition based on the context and urgency, with the primary objective being the uninterrupted delivery of essential GEOINT infrastructure.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source – GCD3


Under the authority of GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source contract to Omni Federal Inc for the GEOINT Capability Development 3 (GCD3) program.


Purpose: The GEOINT Capability Development 3 (GCD3) contract is the follow-on contract to GCD2. GCD3 will continue to support updating the Quality Assurance Capability (QAC) application. QAC will replace the Geospatial Analysis and Integrity Tool (GAIT) which will be sunset in FY28.  GCD3 is necessary to mitigate the risks of QAC not being ready to replace the legacy GAIT capabilities. Further, the external dependency of QAC, Technical Reference Document (TRD) 5.0 is still not complete.


Scope: The contract’s scope is to provide GEOINT Capability Development (GCD) teams with government-contractor effort in programming, user-centric design coding, test-driven programming, continuous integration and continuous deployment, open-source software, Quality Assurance (QA), and Agile software maintenance. NGA currently uses the Geospatial Analysis and Integrity Tool (GAIT). GAIT is the international and defense geospatial co-production of vector data application.


GCD3 will be established as firm fixed price contract with a 7-month base period, one 12-month option period, and one 5-month option period. The anticipated period of performance is 28 June 2026 – 27 June 2028 (24 months total).


NGA intends to award in accordance with GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii) – “The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an FSS order already issued on a competitive basis.”  GCD3 will complete the development of QAC that will replace the sunsetting GAIT tool. GAIT is used for international and defense geospatial co-production of mission vector data. If QAC is not ready to fulfill this requirement, NGA will be at risk with capability and mission gaps. It is anticipated that transitioning to a new provider at this stage to complete updates to the QAC application would delay the completion by 12 months. The estimate for a delay in service due to a transition would be substantial, increasing the required program cost by over $2.1M. Also, Omni Federal is the co-developer with NGA government staff and contract support of the QAC application ecosystem. The team developed expertise in the current application stack, architecture and domain-specific geospatial problem-solving methodology,


This notice is in accordance with RFO Subpart 5.101 and is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation in sufficient detail, which shall be considered by the NGA. A determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
