On August 17, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency posted a request for information to modernize intelligence publication and dissemination systems (GSSIPDM). Responses are due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on September 5.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in support of the GEOINT Services is seeking to modernize the Publication and Dissemination systems for standard and non-standard intelligence. The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research on potential qualified and interested vendors; and to seek input from industry that will help NGA to develop a strategy to modernize both publication and dissemination systems through agile development and delivery methods.

NGA tentatively intends to solicit and award a single award GSA Task Order under Schedule 70, SIN 132 51 with services beginning in early Fiscal Year 2019. The planned period of performance is a Base Six (6) Months with Three (3) Option Periods of six (6) months.

Modernize the Publication and Dissemination Systems using industry best practices and standards, and agile development processes using the latest web-based software language with mature and cutting edge coding methodologies.
Provide a content management system that will be accessible to all NGA users for creating, archiving, and distributing NGA’s text-based standard imagery derived intelligence products.
The Publication and Dissemination systems need to have the ability to Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) following IC and NGA standards.
Provide NGA with tools and processes necessary to produce finished intelligence (FINTEL) products to include; tracking, routing, metrics, dynamic dashboards, design, workflow, file conversions and validation.
Deliver reusable services that are able to ingest standard and non-standard content into the dissemination system.
Provide a standardized interface that is usable by multiple content generating systems.
The System will have the ability to support Intelligence Security Markings (ISM) compliance tools to handle classification rollups and dissemination based on classification.
The System will have the ability to support back-end, fine-grain access control that can query content via a REST API and have the ability to return content in structured formats.
Use the fine-grain access control services to create a data flow for timely dissemination of publications to the appropriate security domains and external services such as the Library of National Intelligence (LNI).
Integrate with NGA’s Enterprise Identity and Access Management (GEOAxIS) to authenticate and regulate user access as well as integrate with enterprise services.
Achieve dissemination by integrating with existing enterprise cross-domain appliance solutions (one-way transfer) from high to low, on multiple domains and networks, and/or utilizing the automated ingest software and manual transfer using CDs.
