Three-Dimensional High Speed - High Altitude Mapping Operations & Technology Integration (3DH2-M O&TI) for U.S. Army Geospatial Center (AGC)

The Government anticipates a Single Award Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract and Sample Task Order.

Background:  

The US Army Geospatial Center’s (AGC) Three-Dimensional High Speed-High Altitude Mapping Operations & Technology Integration (3DH2-M O&TI) program provides timely, accurate and relevant High Resolution Three-Dimensional (HR3D) Data to enable geospatial information, capabilities, and domain expertise for the Army Geospatial Enterprise implementation and Geospatial Data Fabric. The 3DH2-M mission provides critical information to the Warfighter in all Domains and in all Combatant Commands (CCMDs). The purpose of the 3DH2-M mission is to collect, process, disseminate, store, and maintain data collected by conducting wide area high altitude flight operations. Processed 3DH2-M data serves as foundational geospatial data products for the Department of Defense (DoD), Coalition Partners, and Host Nations. Data collection is primarily Outside of the Continental U.S. (OCONUS) with some in the Continental U.S. (CONUS). The data provided from 3DH2-M supports Government efforts for terrain analysis, change detection, threat analysis, intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB), operational and tactical mission planning, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) support, engineer planning, Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD), Seaport of Debarkation (SPOD), Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), Counter Insurgency (COIN), Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (HADR) and many other uses. The Warfighter Support Directorate (WSD), 3DH2-M Program is a part of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at the US Army Geospatial Center (AGC). The 3DH2-M Program focuses on providing high fidelity geospatial foundational data/terrain mapping, and provides support to all authorized Army, DoD, and other government organizations.

The purpose is to collect, process, disseminate, apply, and maintain HR3D geospatial data by conducting flight and collection operations and by processing and producing the required 3DH2-M data products (comprised of but not limited to terrestrial and bathymetric LiDAR, EO, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI), Full Motion Video (FMV), Special Intelligence (SI), and unclassified commercial satellite imagery data). In addition, the Department of Defense (DoD) is pursuing advancements in terrestrial and bathymetric LiDAR, SAR, HSI, and FMV sensor technology. This is a result of the operational requirement to provide high fidelity terrain mapping from a higher altitude, higher velocity aircraft platform (to reduce risk from adversary fire). DoD requires advancement in supporting terrestrial and bathymetric LiDAR, SAR, HSI, and FMV data processing, storage, and dissemination technology. Current terrestrial and bathymetric LiDAR collection systems are rapidly improving/increasing area collection rates as well as increasing the geospatial fidelity of the data. In order to keep pace with the improving collection systems, improved, more rapid data processing needs to be integrated into the 3DH2-M program. The 3DH2-M program is also looking for emerging technology integration for LiDAR (terrestrial and bathymetric), Electro Optical (EO), SAR, HSI, FMV, SI, and Measurement and Signals Intelligence (MASINT) sensors.

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the 3DH2-M support task except for those items specified as government-furnished property, services, and information.

This acquisition is a non-personal service and is not for performance of Inherently Government Functions. Feedback addressing the clarity, feasibility, scope, and potential alternative means of meeting the Government's requirement is sought.

The Government anticipates five (5) task orders against the Single Award ID/IQ.

The Government anticipates one (1) of the following NAICS codes.

• NAICS: 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
• NAICS: 541370 - Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services

The Government anticipates a single award ID/IQ Period of Performance (PoP) of one (1) 12-month base period and four (4) 12-month option periods. The anticipated PoP start date is 12 August 2027.

The Government anticipates a Sample Task Order PoP of one (1) 12-month base and one (1) 12-month option period. The anticipated PoP start date is 12 August 2027.

Services are currently under the HR3DGI O&TI III OASIS+ Task Order (Contract No.

47QRCA 25DU210 / Task Order No. W5J9CQ25F0017)
