Blanket Purchase Agreement 47QTCA19D001D-140L0621A0028

The Bureau of Land Management awarded a multiple award blanket purchase agreement to Premier Data Services Inc. to procure geospatial technology and data support services. Under the master BPA valued at $48 million, two task orders have been issued to date. A task order awarded to Premier's subcontractor Nexgen Technologies Inc. for $113,829.48 will provide geospatial support to the Montana State Office from March 2022 through April 2023. A second task order valued at $919,748.56 will station one GIS Specialist at the agency's enterprise geospatial operations in Lakewood, Colorado from October 2021 through September 2026. Both task orders aim to enhance the BLM's management and sharing of geospatial information through activities such as establishing data standards, converting and reviewing data quality, developing web applications, and coordinating geospatial files and databases. No set-asides were used on the BPA or associated task orders.

The BLM seeks to significantly enhance and distribute its national geospatial data holdings through procuring services under this BPA. Premier Data Services Inc. will support these efforts by drawing upon capabilities of its subcontractor Nexgen Technologies Inc. to provide technical skills in areas like data management, application testing, and user support. The BPA and initial task orders indicate the BLM's continued prioritization of geospatial initiatives for abandoned mine sites and broadband infrastructure through contracted aid in geospatial operations.
