Quick Summary

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a Pre-Solicitation Notice for the Foundation Sustainment Support, Software and Integration (FS3i) requirement. NGA anticipates releasing a Solicitation/Request for Proposal (RFP) around April 30, 2026, for a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract. This opportunity, valued up to $721 million with a 7-year ordering period, seeks to establish an acquisition framework for comprehensive IT sustainment services for NGA's Foundation GEOINT (FG) systems.

Scope of Work

The FS3i contract will provide critical IT services to support the Foundation GEOINT Integrated Program Office (IPF) and the Foundation GEOINT Group (SF). Key service areas include:

  • Software Development: Creating new capabilities for the FG baseline.
  • Integration: Integrating solutions into the FG enterprise.
  • Software Maintenance: Corrective, adaptive, preventative, and perfective maintenance.
  • Operations Support: Daily production activities and operational baselines.
  • IT Procurement: Acquisition, engineering, and maintenance of IT hardware and COTS software. The work emphasizes Agile methodologies, DevSecOps practices, API-first approaches, and continuous monitoring. Specific task orders will cover common services (e.g., Program Management, Help Desk, Cloud Management, Cyber Security, Configuration Management) and specialized support for Aeronautical Safety of Navigation (SoN) systems.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Single-award ID/IQ, Hybrid (Cost Reimbursable Fixed Fee, Firm Fixed Price, Time and Material, and Cost Reimbursable).

  • Place of Performance: Primarily contractor facilities, with potential on-site work at NGA facilities in Washington, DC, and St. Louis, MO.
