Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) on the NATO program for Geospatial Enterprise Core Services (GECS) capability delivery.

Geographic and geospatial support is the foundational layer to realizing the NATO future capability ambition. The GECS program will provide the geospatial capabilities to realize the overarching goal for the Alliance to “operate off the same map” to ensure mission success. GECS will contribute to NATO's Cognitive Superiority efforts by providing clear and reliable geospatial support for situation awareness at strategic, operational, and tactical levels.

This Request for Information (RFI) does not constitute a commitment to issue a future request for proposal (RFP). The purpose of this request is to involve industry through collaboration, in an examination of future capabilities related to the implementation of the GECS program.

Further, respondents are advised that HQ SACT will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI. The costs for responding to this RFI shall be borne solely by the responding party. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any subsequent RFP if issued in the future. All information shared with ACT might be shared with contracted third parties in order to support the capability development process as needed. Provision of data, or lack of, will not prejudice any respondent in the event that there is a competitive bidding process later as part of NATO Common-Funded Capability Development.

Do NOT submit your RFI questions/responses to the Department of Commerce. All requests for clarifications, questions, and responses to this RFI must be sent via email to all Points of Contact provided in the RFI. Contracting and Technical POCs must be included in any correspondence.

HQ SACT’s reference for this RFI is RFI-ACT-SACT-24-40 and all correspondence and submissions concerning this matter should reference this number.
