C--Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 3DNTM
Solicitation # DOIDSAM27G002
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has issued Broad Agency Announcement DOIDSAM27G002 to establish partnerships for the acquisition of high-resolution 3D elevation and hydrography mapping data. This initiative, known as the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) Data Collaboration Announcement, is divided into two primary opportunities: the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) for lidar data and the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP). These partnerships leverage the USGS Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC) to provide critical data supporting infrastructure planning, energy development, mineral discovery, and disaster response. Eligible applicants include federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, academic institutions, and the private sector, though GPSC contractors and subcontractors are explicitly excluded. Project submissions are due by December 4, 2026, and will be evaluated individually based on project location, areal extent, cost share, proposal maturity, and past performance. Preference is given to projects exceeding 1,500 square miles and those located in priority areas where existing data is five or more years old in the contiguous US, or eight or more years old in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories. The standard period of performance for these projects is 18 to 24 months. All resulting data must conform to USGS product specifications and will be made available via The National Map Data Download and Visualization Services. Applicants must submit a project summary form, validation of funding partners, and a GIS file defining the project area.

Plankton Classification and Image Processing Software DevelopmentThe contract involves the development of specialized operating software and machine learning-driven algorithms designed to classify plankton using imagery captured by a 4K line-scan camera. This work includes training and deploying artificial intelligence models to accurately identify and categorize plankton species from high-resolution underwater images, ensuring efficient and scalable analysis in marine research settings. The project also requires the configuration of a dedicated desktop processing station optimized to handle the computational demands of image acquisition, storage, and real-time algorithm execution, creating an end-to-end system tailored for scientific use. The software must be robust, precise, and capable of integration with existing marine monitoring infrastructure, with a focus on minimizing human intervention while maximizing classification accuracy. The effort is structured as a subcontract under the Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition and Grants in Denver, with the North American Industry Classification System code 511210 indicating it falls under software publishing. No set-aside provisions are specified, and the work is expected to be performed remotely or at the contractor’s facility, with the point of performance not defined further. The contract was posted in April 2026 and is accessible through the SAM.gov platform for eligible contractors.
