On August 29, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
posted a request for information (RFI) for GEOAxIS Next. Responses are due by 5:00
p.m. Central on October 15.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in
support of the Cybersecurity Office is developing a request for proposal for
the operations, sustainment and future development of the GEOINT Access and
Information Sharing (GEOAxIS) Next application services. 1.2 NGA has a
mission-critical need to operate, sustain and further develop the GEOAxIS
software baseline and associated documentation and services.
In 2009, the IC CIO established an Identity and Access
Management (IdAM) Program to support information sharing among intelligence
agencies. GEOAxIS was designated as NGA’s enterprise Program of Record for the
implementation of those IdAM services. More recently in 2018 the ODNI, OCIO
further designated GEOAxIS as the Identity Credentialing and Access Management
(ICAM) Solution Provider for the Intel Community in the Secret Cloud. GEOAxIS
provides the most robust, full scope, standards-based set of capabilities to
include; authentication, authorization, digital policy management,
authoritative attributes and entitlement management largely based on the Oracle
software suite. As of February 2019, GEOAxIS is deployed on 18 operational
instances (on premise and in the cloud) along with additional low bandwidth,
disconnected or intermittent environments across 4 security domains and
sustains 99.999% availability. GEOAxIS has integrated over 300 programs, runs
24/7 around the globe and supports over 150,000 authentications and tens of
millions of authorizations to resources and content daily with less than 500
millisecond authentication and sub-100 millisecond authorization performance.
The contractor shall perform the following to support GxNext ICAM development, operation and maintenance, surge capability, and decommissioning/transition efforts. The contractor shall engineer and deploy services that are cost effective and provide a robust and efficient technical solution that meets functional and performance needs while maintaining the flexibility for scaling and enhancement to accommodate emerging technologies.
