NCIA – Request for Information (RFI) on the GEOOPS System

Summary

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under reference RFI-191786-GEOOPS AMD1. This is an amended version of the RFI (Amendment 1). The procurement procedure type is listed as ICB (International Competitive Bidding) or BOA+ (Basic Ordering Agreement). No estimated value has been stated. Based on the title, the procurement relates to 'GEOOPS', which most likely refers to geospatial operations or services. NCIA is responsible for the acquisition and sustainment of NATO's communication and information systems (CIS) as well as its command and control and geospatial capabilities. However, no further information on the subject of the procurement, technical requirements, scope or quantities is available in the material provided. As this is a request for information rather than a formal request for proposal, its purpose is generally to survey the market and gather information ahead of a possible subsequent procurement procedure. Responding will therefore not necessarily lead directly to a contract. The material does not state a publication date, a deadline for submitting responses, a period of performance, eligibility requirements (e.g. security clearance or NATO registration) or evaluation criteria. Note: Attachments (e.g. the actual RFI document, technical annexes and response instructions) were not available, so any terms and details they may contain have not been taken into account in this summary. Exact details must be verified in the original RFI material on the NCIA procurement portal.
