Quick Summary
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Curator II contract. This action incorporates additional development for the ESIS Pilot Phase 5 to integrate it as a fully-operational capability, enhancing NGA's Enterprise security. This is a sole-source modification to the incumbent contractor, not a request for proposals.
Purpose & Scope
The NGA is modifying the existing Curator II contract (HM047622C0053) to continue development of the Enterprise Secure Ingest System (ESIS) Pilot Phase 5. The Curator II program provides a highly specialized secure system that protects the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NGS) from malicious content. This modification is crucial for successfully completing the ESIS Pilot and integrating it as a fully-operational capability within the NGA Enterprise, supporting its evolving security needs.
Key Requirements / Deliverables
- Continuation of ESIS Pilot development (Phase 5).
- Integration of ESIS as a fully-operational capability.
- Support for the Curator System's Operational, Sustainment, and Maintenance (OS&M) and Recapitalization needs.
Contract Details
- Type: Modification to an existing contract (Curator II).
- Period of Performance: April 2026 - August 2027 (Operational Years 3 through 4).
- Estimated Value: Exceeds $900,000 but does not exceed $20 million.
- Authority: FAR 6.103-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).
- Place of Performance: Springfield, VA 22150, United States.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a sole-source award to the incumbent contractor. It is not a competitive solicitation.
Additional Notes
The NGA determined that soliciting offers from multiple sources is impracticable due to the incumbent's unique qualifications, continuous insight, and integration knowledge. Awarding to the incumbent minimizes performance risk and supports timely delivery, avoiding transition delays and potential cost increases. The Government plans a follow-on competitive acquisition for these services within the next 18 months.
