Topic 3 states, “NGA will attempt to provide informal feedback within 30 calendar days of abstract receipt.” Due to the robust industry response to Topic 3, the Government is not presently achieving its goal of providing informal abstract feedback within 30 days of abstract receipt. For firms that submitted timely abstracts (by 19 August), each informal abstract feedback response will be tailored to provide a revised, specific proposal due date, which will be 45 days following the date that the informal feedback is provided. However, for firms that did not submit timely abstracts (which were due by 19 August 2021), the general proposal due date remains unchanged at 30 SEP 2021, 430pm EDT.

Topic 4, High Dimensional Nearest Neighbor (Rev3, 04 May 2021) is amended to further clarify award value & funding plans. See Attachments/Links.
