About this opportunity
The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) is seeking a vendor to conduct a comprehensive Satellite Altimetry Gravity Modeling Project for the Office of Geomatics. The project requires developing advanced geodetic and geophysical models using data from recent satellite missions including SWOT, Jason, Sentinel, and CryoSat, with a primary objective of creating high-resolution gravity maps and improving the Earth Gravitational Model (EGM). Key contract requirements include developing methods for gravity field determination, processing satellite mission data, updating geodetic models every two years, and providing technical training for NGA geodesists. The pre-solicitation notice indicates the project will involve creating gravity models with increased spatial resolution, moving from 1-minute to 30-arcsecond capabilities and enhancing detection of oceanic and polar region features. The solicitation is currently open, with a response deadline of March 25, 2025, and potential vendors should carefully review the detailed Statement of Work for comprehensive project specifications.
The contract is not designated with any specific set-aside and will have a 5-year period of performance consisting of a base year and four option years. The project is unclassified and allows uncleared contractor personnel to participate, with one annual on-site program management review required at NGA's St. Louis campus. Deliverables will include an updated global altimetry model with specific data requirements encompassing latitude, longitude, elevation, and gravity values. Vendors will retain data ownership rights and can publish models after delivery to NGA, with the broader goal of improving geospatial intelligence capabilities for defense, homeland security, and intelligence communities. The contract falls under NAICS category 541370 for Surveying and Mapping Services and PSC category T099 for Photo/Map/Print/Publication services, suggesting a technical and specialized procurement process aimed at advanced geospatial modeling capabilities.
