Based on the Market Research discussed below, the TerraGo software is the only software available which will meet the AGC requirement. This particular site license is only available through TerraGo Technologies, Inc., as such only one source reasonably available.

7. Market Research: The Terrain Analysis Branch of AGC continually performs research of various software applications to satisfy the use; production and manipulation of the Geospatial PDF file (GeoPDF) and has not identified any other software product that can provide the ability to create the GeoPDF format.

TerraGo’s software has been in use here at AGC, the Army, the DoD and US Gov’t since late 2005 and has demonstrated the proven ability to create the GeoPDFs required by AGC and the warfighter. TerraGo Technologies, Inc. is the creator/developer of the Geospatial PDF file (GeoPDF) and the software required to produce and manipulate GeoPDFs. TerraGo Software Site License is only available through one source, directly from the software developer. The price quote received TerraGo, as part of the Market Research includes special site license pricing, not available elsewhere.
