NGA has a need for industry to produce and deliver to NGA, global datasets that utilize automated techniques to detect, characterize, and geolocate emitters of RF energy. Over a 5-year period, these datasets, covering large geographic areas, will enable NGA to discover and monitor activity and equipment that emit energy in the HF to Ka band including Automated Information System (AIS), Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), satellite phones, L-Band communications, and radars of all functions. NGA requires data over large geographic areas of northern latitudes including China, Russia, Iran, as well as mid-latitudes including Africa, and Central and Southern America. NGA will provide one or more contiguous areas of interest (AOI). These AOIs may be located as far north as 68 degrees N latitude and as far south as 23 degrees S latitude. Specific AOIs and frequencies will be detailed at the order level. Attachment 2, AOIs and Associated Frequency Examples, shows an example of what will be provided at the order level. While some variation on the exact coverage areas is expected due to orbital mechanics, the data delivered should cover at least 85% of the defined areas on a daily basis. See attached Request for Proposal and Attachments for more details. Questions are due no later than Tuesday, 23 March 2021 at 0900am CST. Solicitation questions and answers have been attached to this notice (see attached). A solicitation Amendment has been issued and is attached to this notice. The amendment includes a minor adjustment to the instructions to offerors language, which removes the requirement to round up to two decimal places for unit prices. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of the Amendment IAW section 11 of the SF30. Signed amendments shall be submitted with proposal the proposal.
