The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is conducting market research as part of its efforts to launch a prototype other transaction authority program focused on modernizing GEOINT data processes.
The OT@NGA effort will encompass five focus areas, namely advanced analytics and modeling, data management, software engineering, artificial intelligence and future work operations, NGA said in a notice posted Wednesday on the beta SAM website.
NGA noted that it seeks to use the vehicle to expand its network beyond consortium-mediated agreements and directly promote opportunities with nontraditional companies.
According to the agency, awards under OT@NGA may result in follow-on OTAs or traditional contracts without competition based on contractor performance.
NGA intends to announce prototype solicitations under the vehicle “as needs arise,â€Â the notice states.
Interested parties may submit feedback on the effort through July 31.
