Cheryl Pellerin writes the Geospatial Intelligence Solutions Marketplace program works as an online procurement standard for the government, the geospatial intelligence community and academic institutions.
âOur GEOINT Solutions Marketplace started when we realized we needed to revolutionize our relationship with industry,â Karyn Hayes-Ryan, NGAâs deputy component acquisition executive and director of its agility strategic initiative, told AFPS.
Hayes-Ryan told the publication the NGA intends for the GSM exchange to issue a needs statement for vendors using a public part of the system.
âLater this summer, we’re going to have an online environment where they can demonstrate these capabilities to us,â Hayes-Ryan said to AFPS.
Pellerin writes the NGA and the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation have partnered on the GSM program.
