Flight Grid Planning and Operational Coordination

The contract entails the development and continuous updating of GIS-based flight dispersal grids that reflect real-time outbreak data provided by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, requiring precise spatial data integration and dynamic modeling to track and predict the movement of pests or pathogens. The work demands close coordination with state and federal agencies to ensure data accuracy, timely communication, and alignment with ongoing pest management and containment strategies. The contractor must maintain up-to-date spatial datasets and adapt the flight grid models as new outbreak information becomes available, supporting operational decision-making across multiple jurisdictions. Performance of this subcontract is centered in Edinburg with the work falling under NAICS code 541370, which classifies it as other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating a focus on specialized geospatial analysis rather than general consulting. The contract is issued under the Department of Agriculture through MRPBS Minneapolis MN and requires seamless interaction with a network of government entities to synchronize outbreak response efforts. All deliverables must support national biosecurity objectives by enabling accurate prediction and targeted intervention in areas at risk of insect or disease spread through flight patterns.
