Geospatial Research Integration Development Support III (GRIDS III)

The Geospatial Research Integration Development Support III (GRIDS III) is a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle focused on providing advanced geospatial research, integration, development, and support services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Geospatial Center and other Department of Defense agencies. The contract vehicle aims to address gaps in geospatial science and technologies, develop geospatial services and enabled architectures, and provide biometric tools, applications, technologies, techniques, procedures, database development, and management capabilities. With a shared ceiling of $200 million, the GRIDS III contract enables rapid acquisition of geospatial-related products and services across various technical domains.

Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a diverse range of geospatial support activities, predominantly awarded to Leidos, Inc. (operating as SAIC) and General Dynamics One Source LLC. Typical task orders range from $1 million to $15 million, with performance periods spanning one to three years. Key focus areas include Combat Terrain Information Systems (CTIS) software integration, Digital Interrogation Video Archive System (DIVAS) development, Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE) research, and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) systems engineering. Most task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, predominantly supporting the Department of the Army, with work primarily performed in locations such as Alexandria, Virginia, and Herndon, Virginia. Notably, none of the task orders utilized small business set-aside designations, indicating these were full and open competition awards.
