The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), operating under the Department of Defense, has issued a Sources Sought notice to gather information and industry feedback regarding the potential implementation of a cost-effective, “Configuration as a Service” centric platform. This platform is envisioned to deliver a bundled NGA Common Operations Release Environment (CORE) utilizing Helm-Infrastructure as a Code (IaC) methodologies. The effort is being led by the newly-formed Platform Services office within PEO-Enterprise IT, reflecting NGA’s commitment to modernizing its IT infrastructure in alignment with Department of War (DoW), Intelligence Community (IC), and NGA-specific cybersecurity and system requirements.
The primary objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit industry input on approaches, capabilities, and innovative solutions for developing and deploying a secure, scalable, and compliant CORE Helm-IaC platform.

Key requirements include the ability to deliver a bundled solution that addresses the unique constraints and compliance mandates of the DoW, IC, and NGA, particularly in the areas of IT system integration and cybersecurity.
