So, if this trips your trigger, have at it! See below:
We wanted to make you aware of a National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) run challenge called gSEARCH Challenge:
https://www.nsin.mil/events/2023-01-30-gsearch
The National Security Innovation Network (NSIN), in partnership with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), is launching the geoSpatial Environment for Access, Retrieval & Content Hosting (gSEARCH) challenge to identify capabilities that transform the way the NGA and its partners search and discover geospatial content. NGA is interested in innovative and novel approaches that deliver a centralized, web-based user experience for searching and discovering content distributed across government, industry and partner data repositories. Furthermore, this centralized user experience must be interoperable with common exploitation tools and able to execute large scale geoprocessing functions as a service.
White paper submissions will be evaluated by a team of subject matter experts (SMEs). After an initial evaluation, up to 10 companies will be selected as finalists to participate in the pitch event the week of March 27, 2023. The top performing company will be awarded $75,000 in prize money.
