Part 1. General Information

1.1 Introduction. The GRIDS III contract is designated as the primary US Army Geospatial Center (AGC) vehicle to obtain support services for not inherently governmental functions that exceed organic capabilities in supporting the research and development efforts and maintenance of geospatial capabilities at the AGC. The GRIDS III contract is designed to provide services through a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) necessary to acquire special skills, 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) except as Specified in Part 3 as government furnished property and services at the contractors’ location. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
