The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract with Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory (PSU/ARL), located in University Park, PA. The proposed contract action is being pursued under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-3, Industrial Mobilization; Engineering, Development, or Research Capability; or Expert Services. Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3)(B), and implemented by FAR 6.302-3, “the head of an agency may use procedures other than competitive procedures only when- it is necessary to award the contract to a particular source or sources in order to- establish or maintain an essential engineering, research, or development capability to be provided by an educational or other nonprofit institution or a federally funded research and development center.” The anticipated contractor will provide NGA with non-proprietary and independent and objective Research and Development (R&D), Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), systems engineering, and other engineering capabilities required by NGA, which may include, but is not limited to, Geo-intelligence (GEOINT) tools and software code. Previously this has included software code delivery to open source repositories, to IC-only repositories, reporting, prototypes, integration, and collaboration with integration partners, prototype demonstrations, publications, and direct delivery to the customer. PSU/ARL is a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) under contract with the Department of the Navy. A UARC is a strategic United States Department of Defense (DoD) research center associated with a university. UARCs were formally established by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)), to ensure that essential engineering and technology capabilities of particular importance to the DoD are maintained. These not-for-profit organizations maintain essential research, development and engineering “core” capabilities; maintain long-term strategic relationships with their DoD sponsors; and operate in the public interest, free from real or perceived conflicts of interest. The ordering period for the proposed contract is 60-months from the date of contract award. This notice is in accordance with FAR 5.201 and 5.203, and is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation in sufficient detail, which will be considered by the NGA. NGA will not reimburse you for any costs associated with preparing or disseminating a statement of capabilities, proposal, or quotation. A determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.","origin":"extract"},"notice_type":{"code":"p","label":"Presolicitation"},"schema_version":1,"solicitation_number":"HM047624R0025","place_of_performance":{"zip":"16802","city":{"name":"University Park"},"state":{"code":"PA"},"country":{"code":"USA"}},"product_service_code":"AC32"}],"due_at":"2024-05-22T22:00:00Z","due_date":"2024-05-22","closes_at":"2024-05-22T22:00:00Z","awardable":true,"dept_key":"d-097","dept_name":"DEPT OF DEFENSE","sub_key":"s-97AB","sub_name":"NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (NGA)","office_key":"o-HM0476","office_name":"ATTN: MS S84 - OCS","state":"PA","county":"42027","county_name":"Centre County","city":null,"city_name":null,"country":"USA","winner_key":null,"amount":null,"linked_awards":0,"cancelled":false,"archived":false,"updated_at":"2026-09-16T21:18:12.857524Z","principal_notice_id":"cbbd5cf9425849d2b645d2072704aa7c","description":{"text":"THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
