Integrated Library Services (ILS) Next

Under the authority of FAR 8.405-6, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a modification to the Integrated Library System (ILS) Next / Geospatial Query Resource Locator (GeoSQRL) Program contract for additional services. The ILS Next / GeoSQRL contract covers the baseline for discovery, collection, storage, assessment, and cataloging of non-standard geospatial and non-geospatial source data, including open source and commodity data across multiple networks. ILS Next/GeoSQRL functionality was solicited and awarded as a small business set aside in March 2013 to Progressive Technology Federal Systems (PTFS), 7315 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814. The NGA believes PTFS is the only source reasonably available to satisfy the requirements. Pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(c), "In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order." The modification is to support the continuation of operation and maintenance (O&M) support of the GEOINT Research Centers (GRCs), continued GeoSQRL software releases, bug fixes, patches, and adaptive maintenance driven by external dependencies as well as user Concept of Operations (CONOPS) changes. The performance of work requires technical expertise and experience in System Engineering, Software Development, and Program Management along with experience and a thorough understanding in NGA test processes, interfaces, and formats. The period of performance for this requirement under the current contract will be for three (3) years. This notice is in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2, and is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation in sufficient detail, which shall be considered by the NGA. 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.
