On April 7, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) posted a request for information (RFI) for Geophysical Data Purchase and Survey Sourcing. Responses are due by 5:00 p.m. Central on April 21.
NGA in support of the Office of Geomatics is seeking information on how an interested contractor could obtain geophysical data from external sources and coordinate direct surveys of geophysical data. The purpose of this RFI is to gain information on current industry practices with regards to obtaining geophysical data from external sources and with coordinating direct (airborne, marine or land) surveys of geophysical data.
NGA has a mission-critical need for an avenue for NGA to purchase off-the-shelf geophysical data from external sources and for the coordination of direct (airborne, marine or land) surveys of geophysical data and the allowing for the expansion of potential sources currently unknown to NGA. The contractor will also broker direct geophysical surveys in areas of interest for NGA.
The desired data types include but are not limited to gravity data, magnetic data, seismic reflection data, soils data, hydrographic data, and well log data. The contractor should have the ability to streamline and expedite the data acquisition process. NGA is therefore seeking a contractor to serve as a Trusted Broker in data purchasing agreements and directed survey sourcing and management. Services provided by the Trusted Broker includes data brokering, directed surveys sourcing and data virus scanning.
