Commercial Airborne Radar

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) plans to extend the existing contract with Fugro EarthData, Inc. to continue procuring Global Geospatial Intelligence (GGI) airborne radar commercial imagery products. This extension will run from January 13, 2010, through September 30, 2010, allowing NGA ongoing access to Fugro’s advanced sensor capabilities and geopolitical products. The extension ensures uninterrupted support for critical operational requirements while NGA finalizes a competitive acquisition strategy for a follow-on contract. The products supplied under this extension include high-resolution radar imagery and radar-based map products that function effectively in all weather conditions and during both day and night. Notably, NGA will not order other geospatial services under this extension beyond those related to the airborne radar imagery. The contract is sole-source, reflecting NGA's selection of Fugro EarthData for their unique sensor capabilities. The procurement is aligned with NAICS code 541370 and is managed through the Department of Defense office based in Springfield, VA, with performance of work occurring at Fugro’s location in Frederick, Maryland. The point of contact for this contract is Contract Specialist Andrew S. Kohler. This extension represents a critical interim solution to maintain NGA’s operational geospatial intelligence capabilities during the transition to a new contract.
