Notice of Intent to Sole Source - GDPSS
Under the authority of RFO 6.103-1(c)(2), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) intends to issue a sole source contract to Axim Geospatial, LLC (Axim) for the Geophysical Data Purchase & Survey Sourcing (GDPSS) program.
Purpose: The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) provides timely, relevant, and accurate GEOINT in support of national security. NGA also creates the Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and other gravity products used in navigation products for the DOD and general use for industry and academia. The Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) contains gravity survey data from all over the world. Acquiring more gravity data, as well as other geophysical data improves this model. NGA is always looking to improve their models with new restriction-free geophysical data. NGA partners with a company/contractor that can serve as a broker (Trusted Broker) in data purchasing agreements and directed survey sourcing.
Scope: The contract scope is to provide an avenue for NGA to purchase geophysical data from external sources and to coordinate direct (airborne, marine or land) surveys of geophysical data which will allow for the expansion of potential sources currently unknown to NGA. The desired data types include but not limited to gravity data, magnetic data, seismic reflection data, soils data, hydrographic data, and well log data. The GDPSS will also broker direct geophysical surveys in areas of interest for NGA.
GDPSS will be established as firm fixed price contract with a twelve-month base period and four twelve-month option periods. The anticipated period of performance is 15 July 2026 - 14 July 2031.
NGA intends to award in accordance with RFO 6.103-1(b) “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements”. GDPSS is a follow-on contract for highly specialized services that were in place and developed over the past five years. The incumbent-s ownership ...
