NGA posts GRANDCANYON RFI – Intelligence Community News
A government intelligence agency has released a request for information to explore industry input on a program known by the codename GRANDCANYON. The solicitation appeared on an internal, secure portal used for classifications and acquisitions within the intelligence community, and it is not available on public channels. Respondents are invited to share insights on requirements, potential solutions, and strategic considerations related to the effort.
Access to the complete solicitation is restricted to individuals and organizations with appropriate security clearances and a need-to-know. Participation requires enrollment in a restricted-access portal designated for sensitive government information. In keeping with standard procedures for cleared entities, only eligible participants with the proper credentials can view the full materials.
The posting sets a formal deadline for input, placing responses due in early March, with the due date identified as March 3. Submissions are expected to cover aspects such as capability fit, risk considerations, timelines, and readiness to support high-security requirements.
As with other classified sourcing efforts, the exchange occurs within a controlled environment, and public-facing content remains insufficient to disclose sensitive program details. The objective is to gather early industry perspectives to refine requirements, identify potential risks, and highlight innovative approaches that could contribute to mission objectives.
While details remain restricted, officials emphasize a methodical approach to engaging industry that balances security considerations with opportunities for technical advancement and modernization within the program’s scope.
