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).
