Earth Big Data LLC

Earth Big Data LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Falmouth, Massachusetts, conducts research and develops software tools for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data processing and environmental monitoring, working exclusively as a prime recipient on federal research grants and as a purchase-order awardee from civilian science agencies. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and competes entirely through full-and-open procurements — no set-aside designations appear across its recent federal activity.

Earth Big Data LLC's customer base is highly concentrated: 17 awards (94% of its combined potential value of $1.8 million) flow from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center, with the remaining two awards ($138 thousand combined potential value) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This concentration reflects the vendor's core research orientation and technical specialization in earth observation.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on SAR software development and satellite data integration for flood monitoring and ecosystem disturbance analysis. Representative work includes a $344.8 thousand NASA research grant (awarded September 2022, ultimate completion September 2025) for ecosystem disturbance monitoring using the NISAR satellite mission time-series data, which supported science validation and application-opportunity identification for forest monitoring capabilities. A $210 thousand research grant from NASA (awarded September 2025, ultimate completion September 2028) continues this focus on executing a balanced earth science program aligned with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine guidance. From NOAA, the vendor has delivered two purchase orders totaling $138 thousand: a $70 thousand order (September 2023) for SEPPO software tools and integration services to migrate SAR flood monitoring algorithms into NOAA's Enterprise Cloud Environment running on Amazon Web Services, and a $68 thousand order (October 2024) for SEPPO GAMMA Extension software to support installation and migration of NESDIS SAR flood-monitoring algorithms into the National Centers for Computational Sciences.

Activity has been sparse and uneven across the past five years — three awards in 2019, two in 2022, then one each in 2023 and 2024, with two awards in 2025. Combined dollars obligated ($3.2 million) exceed combined potential value ($1.8 million), indicating that obligated amounts have exceeded initial ceiling values on some awards. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal activity: only three records as named subcontractor (0 as prime) across fiscal years 2022–2024, representing 0.5 to 1.3 FTEs. This reflects the vendor's research-grant orientation rather than service-contract delivery; SCI excludes research grants and is therefore not a representative measure of Earth Big Data LLC's federal footprint.
