Description
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is issued to facilitate
the collection of lidar and derived elevation data for the 3D
Elevation Program (3DEP). The BAA continues the USGS¿s long
standing approach to elevation data acquisition through a
combination of contracting through the USGS Geospatial
Products and Services Contracts (GPSC) and partner
acquisitions. The BAA is meant to provide increased visibility
to these existing processes for data acquisition partnerships
to the broadest stakeholder community possible.
Proposals are invited from applicants who wish to propose a
partnership...
with 3DEP to fund lidar data acquisition and the
creation of lidar-derived elevation products. Applicants may
fund an acquisition project through the USGS Geospatial
Products and Services Contract (GPSC) or they may request 3DEP
funds to apply towards a lidar data acquisition project where
the requesting partner uses their own contracting vehicle.
Federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes,
academic institutions and the private sector are eligible to
submit proposals. The Government will review proposals based
on the project¿s alignment with the evaluation criteria
identified in section VI.A. of this BAA.
