National Geospatial Intelligence Agency REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 1. Introduction In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.215-3 Request For Information, The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for the Human Development Management (HDM), is issuing this Request For Information (RFI) as part of market research, to forge a partnership with industry to provide a comprehensive approach to improve the end-to-end processes involved with managing people resources in the organization. This RFI shall not be construed as a formal solicitation or an obligation on part of NGA to acquire any product or services. Submission of any information in response to this RFI is completely voluntary and any cost associated with submission shall not be reimbursed by the Government. The information requested will be used by NGA to facilitate decision making. 2. Background The NGA Human Development (HD) Directorate was formed in January 2004 with the merger of NGA's Human Resources (HR) and Training and Doctrine (TD) Directorates. This allowed HD to align and integrate its efforts to meet the NGA's Director's Goal to attract, develop and retain a world-class Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) workforce. HD Senior Leadership recognizes the need to align and integrate various services that the new directorate provided. This, would, in turn, allow improved service delivery by introducing more coordinated and efficient business practices, offering more consistent service levels, standardizing processes across the directorate and integrating "people" data. Service integration will also result in resource savings across the board, and assist HD in managing contract services. Currently, HD service functions are provided by the Human Capital Management Contract (HCM). NGA is looking to improve process improvements already in place and working towards integration and optimization through Technology Insertion and Business Process Reengineering for each of the major functional areas: Human Development Management Program Support, Strategic Workforce Planning, Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC), Recruitment Services, Personnel Data, Benefits and Retirement Services and Office of Diversity Management and Equal Employment Opportunity. Note: the contractor personnel performing this work at NGA sites must have TS/SCI security clearances and their company must have a TS/SCI facility clearance as per Defense Security Services (DSS) at time of contract award Based on the information received from this RFI, NGA will build a Request for Proposal. At this time NGA is envisioning a single award firm fixed price contract. 3. Responding to this RFI NGA requests that you provide the following information: a. A response no longer than 5 double-sided pages exclusive of existing marketing materials. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.
