About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Geospatial Center established GRIDS III as a Master IDIQ on February 12, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $200 million and a final ordering date of February 11, 2023—meaning the vehicle closed to new orders over three years ago and is no longer available for pursuit.
Activity has continued under awarded task orders despite the ordering closure. The portfolio contains 35 task orders across two prime contractors with $301.4 million in combined potential value, of which $224.6 million (75%) has been obligated. The most recent task order was awarded March 25, 2024, though ordering velocity has declined sharply: the vehicle averaged 4.2 orders per year from 2020 through 2023, dropping to 2 orders in 2024.
Leidos, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 26 of 35 orders (74% of potential value at $260 million combined), while General Dynamics One Source LLC holds the remaining 9 orders ($41.5 million potential value). No other primes were awarded.
Funding concentrates heavily on Army programs: the Department of the Army placed 21 orders ($265.5 million combined potential value), with the Army Corps of Engineers Geospatial Center—the contracting office itself—accounting for 14 orders ($35.9 million combined potential value). All 35 task orders are unrestricted, with no set-asides.
Task orders span geospatial research, data integration, and systems development. Representative work includes the Buckeye II Enhanced Integration and Operations order (ceiling $99.8 million, CPFF), Combat Terrain Information Systems software integration services (ceiling $12.5 million, CPFF), Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE) work, and Big Data Micro Services integration. Most orders use cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing; a few smaller efforts use firm fixed price.
The vehicle's successor, GRIDS IV, was awarded May 5, 2025, and is now the relevant vehicle for new geospatial research and integration work under Army Corps of Engineers contracting. GRIDS III itself remains active for performance and modification of existing orders but offers no new entry point for competitors.
Description
The GRIDS III program is intended to identify and address gaps in geospatial science and technologies, develop geospatial services and enabled architectures, and then provide biometric tools, applications, technologies, techniques and procedures, and then finally database development management and experience.
