Additional Details
The Virginia Contracting Activity (VaCA) has issued a Special Notice regarding the upcoming Solutions for Intelligence Analysis 3 (SIA 3) Small Business On-Ramp, an initiative designed to expand the pool of qualified small business contractors supporting intelligence analytical services for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the broader Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE). This On-Ramp is part of the existing SIA 3 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle, with the intent to onboard additional small business entities during Fiscal Year 2025, Quarter 1.
The primary purpose of the SIA 3 contract is to provide non-personal services in intelligence analysis, supporting both domestic (CONUS) and international (OCONUS) operations. Contractors may be required to deploy personnel to challenging environments, including locations designated by the U.S. Government as Imminent Danger and/or Hostile Fire Zones. The scope of work encompasses a wide range of analytical support activities, contributing to the mission-critical needs of the DIA and DIE across the globe.
Key requirements for participation in this On-Ramp include:
- Eligibility as a Small Business under NAICS Code 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services).
- Capability to deliver intelligence analytical support services in both CONUS and OCONUS settings, including readiness to operate in harsh and potentially hostile environments.
- Compliance with classified solicitation procedures, as all information and submissions must be handled via the classified National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and National Security Agency (NSA) Acquisition Research Center (ARC) sites. No email submissions will be accepted.
The anticipated timeline for this procurement activity includes the release of a Request for Information (RFI) on the classified NRO and NSA ARC sites, with questions due by 12:00 PM ET on May 5, 2025, and RFI responses due by 12:00 PM ET on May 9, 2025. The formal Request for Proposals (RFP) is expected to be issued in FY25 Q1, though specific dates remain to be determined.
The contract’s period of performance began on August 5, 2019, featuring a five-year base ordering period and five optional one-year ordering periods. Task orders under this vehicle may have up to a one-year base period and up to four one-year option periods, providing substantial opportunity for ongoing engagement.
The contracting office is located at 200 MacDill Blvd, Washington, DC 20340, with Ms. Raqeeba Mohammed ([email protected]) serving as the primary point of contact, and Mr. Christopher Nietubyc ([email protected]) as the secondary contact. The procurement is classified under Product Service Code R423 (Intelligence Analysis Services).
This On-Ramp is strictly set aside for Small Business entities; no proposals from Other Than Small Business vendors will be considered at this time. Interested parties must access the classified solicitation materials and submit all inquiries and responses through the NRO ARC platform (https://acq-ui.westfields.net), ensuring compliance with all security and submission protocols.
Contractors evaluating this opportunity should ensure they possess the requisite expertise in intelligence analysis, the ability to support global operations under demanding conditions, and the infrastructure to manage classified contract activities. The SIA 3 On-Ramp represents a significant opportunity for small businesses to contribute to national security objectives while engaging in a long-term, mission-driven contract vehicle.
