National Guard Bureau (NGB) Enterprise Data and Artificial (AI) Program

The National Guard Bureau (NGB) has issued a Sources‑Sought RFI (Solicitation NGBEDAI) to gather market information for the design, development, and implementation of an NGB Enterprise Data and Artificial‑Intelligence (AI) Program. The objective is to create a scalable, interoperable, and secure enterprise‑wide data environment that integrates disparate data sources from the Army National Guard, Air National Guard, NGB Joint Staff, and the 54 state, territorial and District of Columbia Joint Force Headquarters, while providing an AI‑enabled decision advantage. Respondents are asked to describe available technologies and solution architectures—including federated, API‑based, data‑lake/warehouse/fabric or mesh approaches—that can support both unclassified and classified data (Impact Levels 2‑6, up to SECRET), operate within a FedRAMP‑High authorized cloud or DoD‑approved cloud, and implement Zero‑Trust principles (end‑to‑end encryption, strong IAM, micro‑segmentation, continuous monitoring, immutable audit trails). Required capabilities also include robust identity/credential management, role‑ and attribute‑based access controls, data‑level security, threat detection, automated response, metadata management, data cataloging, and self‑service analytics/visualization. The RFI seeks insight on best practices for integrating heterogeneous data sources, Zero‑Trust implementation, AI and advanced analytics at scale, and recommended implementation approaches such as phased delivery, pilot programs, and scaling strategies that balance enterprise needs with state‑level flexibility and cost‑share considerations. Responses should be submitted via email to Jeannie Botteri (jeannie.m.botteri.civ army.mil) and LaKia Johnson (lakia.l.johnson.ctr army.mil) no later than 16:00 hours on 22 May 2026. The primary NAICS code is 518210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services) and the primary PSC codes are D399, D302, D308, D307, and D310, with suggestions for alternatives welcomed.
