The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors and gather input on potential solutions to support the ability of Allied Command Operations (ACO) to orchestrate Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) data procured or accessed on the unclassified network.
The Alliance Persistent Surveillance from Space (APSS) program represents NATO's commitment to establish a persistent, federated space-based ISR capability through the Aquila virtual constellation, integrating national satellites, commercial providers, and publicly available data sources. As APSS transitions from Initial Operational Capability (IOC) toward Full Operational Capability (FOC), ACO requires a unified service to orchestrate collection tasking, manage data ingest, and ensure timely exploitation of ISR data on unclassified networks. NCIA seeks to provide collection managers within ACO with a capability to search, order, manage, process, view and task nationally, commercially, and publicly available Information on the unclassified network. The RFI seeks to elicit the view of industry partners on the scope of the envisioned services and facilitate NCIA-s insight into best-in-class industry solutions, including current market capabilities, and pricing models of services offered.
This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a request for bids. It is part of NCIA-s effort to ensure it has a clear understanding of the marketplace, available capabilities, and potential acquisition strategies to deliver ACO capabilities as APSS moves towards FOC, supported through the Intel and ISR Functional Services Data Management Project.
Submission instructions and additional details can be found in the RFI (attached).
Do NOT submit your RFI response to the Department of Commerce. Submission instructions and additional details can be found in the RFI.
