  • Disclosure scopeFY2026 House appropriations report

How to engage

Mission & responsibilities

Authority & organization

  • 10 U.S.C. §442 establishes NGA's GEOINT, navigation and related systems missions; it is distinct from a particular contract's funding or award authority.

Source notes
  • Public financial examples are deliberately scoped. No current agency-wide NGA appropriation or remaining balance is asserted.
  • The NGA small-business FAQ currently states that ARC is down; an ARC address alone should not be represented as a verified working intake.
Institutional limits

Data exchange, release and receipts each have separate conditions. Nongovernmental/academic exchange authority is limited as specified in §454; security and international-agreement restrictions persist. Map receipts are not a general reinvestment pool.
