RFI for Imagery Post Processing Capability Services

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is seeking information to identify vendors capable of providing imagery post-processing capability services. The agency needs to understand industry capabilities regarding modular design and open architecture approaches for integrating, testing, and hosting advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. This initiative aims to solve challenges related to cataloguing geospatial intelligence data, automating workflows, and retraining algorithms upon ingesting external data products. The requested scope of work covers the exploitation of electro-optical and synthetic aperture radar imagery, including automatic target recognition via artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. The agency requires information on hosting and supporting geospatial products, applications, and exploitation capabilities within a cloud-based storefront and repository. Additionally, the scope includes providing technical test support for integrating software applications into both on-premise hardware and cloud-based environments. Bidders must demonstrate experience with digital interfaces and specific industry standards, as well as modular design attributes and open architecture. The agency requires respondents to outline potential teaming arrangements, integration partners, production capacity, and scale-up timeline estimates. Eligible respondents must be United States organizations, and personnel must possess the ability to obtain or maintain security clearances. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish budget expectations and project feasibility. Performance of the eventual contract will take place offsite at the contractor's facility. The agency has not specified a closing date for this request for information, but responses will directly influence the acquisition strategy.
