Additional Details
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a solicitation for the CLOVER Multiple-Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, serving as the follow-on to the previous EMERALD Enterprise Services support contract awarded in 2017. This procurement, identified as HM0476-21-R-0023, is designed to address the agency’s ongoing requirements for Lifecycle Acquisition Support, Financial Management Support, and Strategic Business Management Support services. The CLOVER contract represents a reorganization and refinement of the EMERALD approach, with a similar but not identical scope of work, as detailed in the Statement of Work (SOW) attachment to the Request for Proposal (RFP).
The scope of CLOVER encompasses comprehensive management consulting services, as classified under NAICS Code 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and Product Service Code R799. The contract is structured as a multiple-award IDIQ, enabling NGA to issue task orders for a range of support activities over the contract’s lifecycle. The place of performance is Springfield, Virginia, ensuring proximity to NGA’s operational headquarters.
Key requirements for offerors include the submission of proposals and Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) in accordance with the detailed instructions and timelines provided in the solicitation and its amendments. Notably, Amendment 0005 updates the proposal due date to Tuesday, March 29, between 12:00 and 2:30 pm ET, and revises the process for classified proposal delivery notification. Offerors are permitted a specific formula adjustment in the J.17 Self-Scoring Sheet, as clarified in the March 18 update, but no other manipulations are allowed. The government will verify all scoring sheet calculations during compliance checks, with the evaluation process limited to corroborating or downgrading reported scores as appropriate.
The solicitation is set aside for Small Business Administration (SBA) eligible entities, reflecting NGA’s commitment to supporting small business participation in federal contracting. Offerors are encouraged to review all amendments, attachments, and Q&A documents—46 attachments are referenced in the notice—to ensure compliance with the latest requirements and clarifications. The contracting entity for this opportunity is NGA’s Office of Contract Services (OCS), ATTN: MS S84, with primary and secondary points of contact provided for proposal submission and inquiries: Gary J. Davis ([email protected], 571-557-1414) and Vanessa L. Knight ([email protected], 571-557-8954).
Throughout the contract lifecycle, the core objectives will remain focused on delivering high-quality acquisition, financial, and strategic business management support to NGA, enabling the agency to fulfill its mission-critical functions. Contractors should expect ongoing administrative updates and compliance checks, but the fundamental requirements and scope of work will remain consistent as outlined in the solicitation and its attachments.
For further details, including access to solicitation documents and amendments, contractors should refer to the official SAM.gov opportunity listing (Opportunity ID: ad5921f7124543c79eba311f375bc347) and the Unclassified ARC (UARC) CLOVER site, as indicated in the notice. This opportunity is well-suited for firms with demonstrated expertise in federal management consulting and a track record of supporting complex government programs.
