The US Army Corps of Engineers, Army Geospatial Center (AGC), has a requirement for Military Terrain and Hydrologic Analysis, Databases and Environmental Studies Support. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine if there are sources capable of satisfying the Governments requirements. No proposals are being requested or accepted under this RFI. Feedback addressing the clarity, feasibility, scope, and potential alternative means of meeting the Governments requirement is sought. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for these requirements is 541370. The business size standard is $4.5M, which means that a company, including its affiliates, would be considered a small business if their average annual gross receipts does not exceed $4.5 Million for the past three years. If a company has not been in business for three years, the average weekly revenue for the number of weeks the company has been in business is multiplied by 52 to determine the average annual receipts. Your response should identify your business size (large or small) in relation to this NAICS Code. Contractor personnel will require DoD security clearances at least at the SECRET level for personnel. Handling of material up to SECRET is required. Storage Clearances of at least the SECRET level are required. TOP SECRET/SCI Facility clearance is required for on-site support at AGC.
