The GSA and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency have awarded blanket purchase agreements for earth observation solutions under GSA’s IT Schedule 70.
“The initiative leverages schedules and contractual instruments available through GSA to allow commercial purchases by government organizations for geospatial earth observation data, products and services,” the announcement said. “Using BPAs simplifies the acquisition ordering process and reduces purchasing costs by anticipating repetitive needs for supplies or services and setting up accounts with trusted suppliers.”
It said the BPA addresses agencies’ growing needs for services including satellite imagery and communication, distribution and content management, change detection, advanced analytics and data products.
