Geospatial Research, Integration, Development and Support III Small Business Set-Aside (GRIDS III SB)

The Geospatial Research, Integration, Development and Support III Small Business Set-Aside (GRIDS III SBSA) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle focused on providing advanced geospatial research, engineering, and technical services to the U.S. Army Geospatial Center and the Department of Defense. The contract covers a comprehensive range of geospatial solutions, including coordination, integration, and synchronization of geospatial information requirements, development of enterprise-enabled systems, and direct geospatial support for military operations. The vehicle supports services across all security domains, from unclassified to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) levels, with a total contract ceiling of $48 million and a performance period through June 17, 2025.

Task orders under this IDIQ predominantly support geospatial engineering, software development, and analytical services for various defense organizations. Typical task order values range from $2,500 minimum guarantee awards to $8.9 million multi-year efforts, with most falling between $500,000 and $5 million. Research Innovations Incorporated has been a frequently awarded prime contractor, securing multiple task orders supporting activities like the Canadian Forces Warfare Center, Defense Data and Analytics Services, and United States Forces in Korea. The task orders are primarily issued by the Department of the Army and Department of Defense, typically without specific small business set-aside designations, and most performance locations are in Alexandria, Virginia, with some international support efforts. The contract vehicle enables flexible, rapid procurement of geospatial technology and support services across defense and intelligence domains.
