Request for Information - Message Operations and Information Exchange Support

The National Geospatial‑Intelligence Agency (NGA) is issuing an RFI to gather information on commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) organizational messaging (OM) applications that can support the full lifecycle of intelligence reporting—exchange, discovery, drafting, coordination, release, receipt, storage, and dissemination—for internal and external users. The solution must operate within NGA’s government‑provided hosting environment, span two geographically separated data centers (Springfield, VA and Arnold, MD), and meet stringent security, cybersecurity, and accreditation requirements (including TOP‑SECRET//HCS handling). The agency seeks insight into industry capabilities, licensing models, support structures, modernization pathways, and potential contract structures. Responses are to be submitted as a 5‑page, unclassified white paper by 28 Oct 2026. • Provide a COTS messaging platform compatible with NGA’s enterprise architecture and dual‑site hosting. • Deliver operations, maintenance, sustainment, licensing, and cybersecurity support (including RMF, continuous monitoring, and accreditation). • Address staffing (cleared personnel), security compliance, and minimal disruption during modernization/automation. • Include administrative data (UEI, CAGE, SAM status, GSA Schedule, interest in prime/partner roles). • Submit a concise white paper (max 5 pages, Times New Roman 12 pt) via email to the listed contacts.
