Blackboard Managed Hosting and Support

Synopsis: On 13 September 2016, the National Geospatial –Intelligence Agency (NGA), Human Development Directorate, National Geospatial-Intelligence College (NGC) intends to Sole Source a Firm Fixed price contract to Blackboard Incorporation to provide the NGA College (NGC) with managed commercial hosting for publically releasable unclassified training content. Blackboard Inc. will provide managed hosting and support of the Blackboard Learning Content Management System (LCMS) to learners throughout the world with access to NGA’s unclassified training via the World Wide Web (WWW), as it is the only vendor able to meet the necessary requirement to be fully compatible with the existing enterprise LCMS. Market research revealed that acquiring a new provider with a different LCMS on another domain would be extremely inefficient, costly and overly time consuming to replace the entire existing system. This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Proposal (RFP).
