The U.S. Geological Survey awarded a definitive contract to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects in December 2025 to support the USGS Landsat Science Team. Valued at $978,916, this five-year contract extends through December 2030 and will be performed in Salt Lake City, Utah. The University of Utah will provide research and technical services addressing scientific and engineering topics related to current and future Landsat missions, including data characterization, instrument science, measurement evaluation, data processing, user applications, and integration with other Earth observation systems. This award was issued on a cost-no-fee basis with no small business set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive positioning among all responsible sources. The contract emerged from a pre-solicitation notice posted by USGS in October 2024 that anticipated 4-6 awards at approximately $1 million each. The University of Utah's extensive experience in federal research partnerships—particularly with agencies including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Energy—positions it well to execute this Landsat Science Team support mission. The Eros Data Center, which serves as the USGS's civilian funding entity, administers the Landsat program, one of the longest-running and most significant Earth observation initiatives supporting scientific research, environmental monitoring, and natural resource management.
