- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a modification to the Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) Data Transformation Services (GDTS) III contract for additional services under CLIN 0003�(System Design, Build, Upgrade, Integrate, and Test). The GDTS-III contract, covering the baseline GDTS functionality for data sources, was solicited under full and open competition and�awarded to Raytheon Company, 1737 East CityLine Drive, Richardson, TX 75082. The NGA believes Raytheon is the only source reasonably available to satisfy the requirements. Pursuant to FAR 6.3021(a)(2)(iii), the �services may be deemed available only from the original source in case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in � (A) substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition; or (B) unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements.� The modification is to support operational capabilities of the existing GDTS software to transition processes to REST services for containerization . The performance of work requires technical expertise and experience in System Engineering, Software Development, Security Assessment and Authorization (A&A), and Program Management along with experience and a thorough understanding in NGA test processes, interfaces, and formats that include Data Source Description Document, Mapping Systems Interface Control Document (MICD), MICD Addendum 1, Military Standard (MIL-STD) 2500C, Motion Imagery Standard Board (MISB) Standards, National Support Data Extensions for the National Imagery Transmission Format (STDI-0001), Compendium of Controlled Extensions for the National Imagery Transmission Format (STDI-0002), Implementation Practices of the National Imagery Transmission Format Standard (STDI00005), National Imagery Transmission Format Version 2.1 Commercial Dataset Requirements Document (STDI-0006), and National System for Geospatial-Intelligence Product Description Document (NSGPD). The period of performance for this�requirement�will be for six months. This notice is in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2, and is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation in sufficient detail, which shall be considered by the NGA. A determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
