Performance Work Statement For

Geospatial, Research, Integration, Development and Support (GRIDS III)

Part 1. General Information

1.1 Introduction. The purpose of this GRIDS III contract is to obtain support services for supporting the research and development efforts and maintenance of geospatial capabilities at the US Army Geospatial Center (AGC). The GRIDS III contract shall consist of one Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to acquire systems engineering and technical services to perform research and development activities, maintenance, and operational support that relate to rapid development, limited fielding and geospatial technology services for the warfighter as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

1.2 Background. AGC is a direct reporting center under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and is the Army Knowledge Center for Geospatial Expertise. It serves as a key enabler of the Army Geospatial Enterprise- an integrated system of technologies and processes that delivers a geospatial Common Operational Picture to the Warfighter. The Army Geospatial Center provides geospatial support and products to Warfighters, to support the Army's Battle Command Systems in facilitating the dissemination of relevant geospatial information to every level across the battlefield environment. AGC coordinates, integrates, and synchronizes geospatial information requirements and standards across the Army, as well as develops and fields geospatial enterprise-enabled systems and capabilities to the Army and Department of Defense.

1.3 Objectives

This contract will result in a MATOC of prime contractors with the capability to manage multiple task orders simultaneously at multiple locations. The Contractor must also possess the corporate knowledge and technical capabilities necessary to assist in the coordination, integration and synchronization of geospatial information requirements and standards across the Army; develop geospatial enterprise enabled systems for the Army and the Department of Defense (DoD) and provide direct geospatial support to the Warfighter.

1.4 Personnel

1.4.1. The Contractor shall provide experienced personnel to perform the required services.
