NGA Solicitation for Behavioral Support Science Services

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is soliciting non-personal services to support the Behavioral Science Team within its Security and Installation Directorate’s Counter Insider Threat Office, under solicitation HM047626Q0018, a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 621330. The contract requires the provision of clinical psychologists with full, current, and unrestricted licenses to practice in the United States or its territories, to deliver consultation, training, research, and liaison services in support of insider threat mitigation at the NGA East Campus in Springfield, Virginia. The solicitation mandates two full-time equivalent clinical psychologists, each providing 1,920 hours annually, with work potentially extending to other government facilities. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) award with a 12-month base period and four 12-month option years, totaling 60 months, with a possible six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8, for an overall period of performance from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2031. Proposals must be submitted via SAM.gov by July 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET, adhering to strict formatting rules including 8.5 x 11 inch pages, 1-inch margins, 10-point Times New Roman font, single spacing, and separate, unzipped, unencrypted files—except for the Personnel Security Clearance document, which may be password-protected. Evaluation is conducted on a best-value basis with three primary factors: Technical, Security, and Price. The Technical factor, comprising Clinical Psychologist resumes, technical/management approach, and corporate experience, is weighted as the most important, with resumes carrying the greatest significance among sub-factors. The Security factor is a pass/fail gate—failure in any sub-element including Facility Clearance (FCL), Personnel Security Clearance (PCL/SCI), Cybersecurity Hygiene, Supply Chain Risk, or FOCI compliance immediately disqualifies the proposal. Offerors must demonstrate active Top Secret FCL, submit completed DD Form 254 and SF 328-18b, and certify FOCI status via official DCSA documentation or NISS screenshots.
