AI Contract Overview

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a classified Request for Proposal (RFP) HM1572-14-R-0011 for the Nonconventional Exploitation Factors Data System (NEFDS), aimed at advancing the NGA's capabilities in non-literal exploitation within the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence and the Allied System for GEOINT. This effort involves developing sophisticated software applications that will build, maintain, and deploy signature libraries essential to the structured observation management initiative, specifically supporting analytic capabilities for imagery exploitation, modeling, simulation, and sensor and tool development. NEFDS distinguishes itself from traditional spectral libraries by offering a comprehensive system that characterizes effective reflectivities, emissivities, and radiance estimates based on variable source, sensor, and target geometries to enable applications such as quantitative analysis and material identification. The contract is a total small business set-aside and requires prospective offerors to have Top Secret Facility Clearance due to the sensitive nature of the work, with the safeguarding level mandated at Top Secret. The contract period includes a base year plus four one-year options. Final RFP documents are available on the Classified Intelligence Community Acquisition Research Center website, where offerors are responsible for regularly checking updates. The contracting office is located in Springfield, Virginia, with Delphia P. Cooley serving as the primary point of contact and Teresa L. Lukavec as the secondary contact. This contract supports the Department of Defense under NAICS code 541330.

Full Description

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) hereby releases Request for Proposal (RFP) HM1572-14-R-0011 for the Nonconventional Exploitation Factors Data System (NEFDS) effort. NGA proposes to award one contract to fulfill this requirement under a small business set-aside. Brief Summary: NEFDS is a key component to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) requirement to deliver non-literal exploitation capabilities to the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG) and to the Allied System for GEOINT (ASG) through the development of technologically-advanced software applications. NEFDS directly addresses the "build, maintain, and deploy signature libraries" sub-capability of the "create automated observations" capability of the "structured observation management" initiative of the "analytic capabilities" portfolio. Detailed information about materials in an image is required for certain facets of imagery exploitation, modeling and simulation leading to sensor and tools development for exploitation, and feature extraction and attribution. The NEFDS program is designed to provide and exploit that required information. The NEFDS is unique in that, unlike traditional spectral libraries, it provides a system of data, parameters, and models that permit the characterization of effective reflectivities and emissivities and radiance estimates as a function of arbitrary source, sensor, and target geometry. When the directional response of a material is known, it can be exploited for such applications as quantitative analysis, material identification, and specification of optimal scenarios, sensors, and geometries for collection. This solicitation, as a whole, is classified. Prospective offerors are required to have a Top Secret Facility Clearance. The level of safeguarding required is Top Secret. The duration of the contract period is planned to be a base year with four one-year option periods. The final Request for Proposal (RFP) documents for the Nonconventional Exploitation Factors Data System (NEFDS) effort have been posted to the Classified Intelligence Community (IC) Acquisition Research Center (ARC) website. https://acq.nro.ic.gov/ Please read the RFP instructions and attachments on the IC-ARC. It is the responsibility of each Offeror to access and monitor the IC-ARC website routinely for any and all updates to this RFP.
