Real-time Transfer Service (RTS) Additional Node
Solicitation # JA-FY26-073
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is pursuing a sole-source contract modification to add an additional node to the existing Real-Time Transfer Service system, which is a critical component of the Overhead Persistent Ground Architecture supporting global missile warning, tracking, and defense operations. The new node is essential for a scheduled near-term capability demonstration and to enhance system resiliency by expanding data communication capabilities across secure enclaves. The effort will include design, development, deployment, integration, and testing of the node, all while continuing ongoing development, operations, and sustainment activities under the current contract. This is a follow-on action to the incumbent contractor, who is the only viable source capable of meeting the stringent timeline without causing unacceptable delays, as determined under FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii) for highly specialized services. The base performance period is two years, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The solicitation is posted under number JA-FY26-073 and is classified as a sources-sought notice, not a competitive solicitation, in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2. While the government intends to award without competition, all responsible sources may submit capability statements or proposals by the deadline of August 19, 2026, for consideration. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541511, and the agency point of contact is Yue M. Eng at the NGA office in Springfield, Virginia. No set-aside is in effect, and the final decision on whether to proceed with sole-source award remains entirely at the government’s discretion based on any responses received.

NGA - Boosting Innovative GEOINT - Science & Technology Broad Agency Announcement (BIG-ST BAA)
Solicitation # HM047623BAA0001
The Boosting Innovative GEOINT-Science and Technology (BIG-ST) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) invites submissions of novel concepts addressing challenging geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) issues within three main technical domains: foundational GEOINT, advanced phenomenologies, and analytic technologies. This BAA operates as a general solicitation that outlines NGA’s research interests and proposal evaluation criteria, with specific requests for abstracts and proposals issued through separately published Topic Calls during the open period. These Topic Calls are available via the BIG-ST BAA General Solicitation site on platforms like Sam.gov and Grants.gov, with classified call information accessible through the Classified IC-Acquisition Research Center for authorized users. Several topics under the BIG-ST BAA have been closed or canceled, including those focused on foundational GEOINT models, university science expertise, signal chain development, and artificial intelligence for GEOINT media analysis. Currently, only Topic 6, Magnifying University Science Expertise 2 (MUSE 2), remains open exclusively to grant applicants, with all abstract submissions for this topic now closed following multiple revisions and deadline extensions. The overall solicitation number HM047623BAA0001 (Revision 3) governs these activities, with a final response deadline set for December 15, 2026. The NGA office managing this solicitation is located in Springfield, VA, with designated points of contact available to support interested parties throughout the process.
