Real-time Transfer Service (RTS) Additional Node

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole-source award to the incumbent contractor for adding an additional node to the Real-Time Transfer Service (RTS) system. The RTS system is a key data and message transport component for the Overhead Persistent Ground Architecture (OPGA), which supports global missile warning, tracking, and defense capabilities. The additional node will be designed, developed, deployed, integrated, and tested while concurrently continuing development activities, operations & sustainment support, and studies for the current RTS system. • The RTS system requires the addition of an additional node to support a near-term scheduled capability demonstration and improve system resiliency. • The period of performance for this requirement is notionally a two (2) year base period, and up to (2) years in option periods. • The contract modification award will be made to the incumbent contractor. • Interested parties may identify their interest and capability in response to the requirement.
