NGA GEOINT Data Services Program

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has outlined an updated acquisition schedule for its GEOINT Data Services (GDS) Program, with target milestone dates reflecting the current status of various solicitations. Key contract awards for Aeronautical Charts and Aeronautical Text were planned for October 2013, pending the availability of funds. The solicitation releases for Global Product Services and Commercial Airborne were also scheduled for October 2013, although specific award dates for these remain undetermined as the agency seeks industry feedback on draft solicitations. Awards for Foundation GEOINT Content Management and Maritime components are anticipated for December 2013 and January 2014, respectively. NGA has noted that all dates are provisional and may be delayed due to any ongoing lapses in Federal appropriations. This program falls under the NAICS code 541370 and is managed by the NGA, a Department of Defense office located in Arnold, Missouri. The contracting officer overseeing this acquisition is Susan R. Pollman, who can be contacted via email or phone for additional information. The overall effort is aimed at supporting geospatial intelligence data services through a series of contracts aimed at updating and managing key GEOINT content across various domains including aeronautical, maritime, and airborne sources. The agency’s emphasis on obtaining industry input and the fluid nature of award dates underscore the program’s adaptive approach to evolving operational and budgetary conditions.
