The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will procure geospatial data and products from the University of Alaska Fairbanks using the recently awarded $139 million Summit contract.
NGA said the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract covers data and product development, maintenance and delivery over a five-year period of performance.
In December 2022, the agency released a sources sought notice for the Summit program. It requested information about industry capabilities focused on global collection, manipulation, processing and maintenance of elevation and 3D data.
The recent award was not the first collaboration between NGA and the university. In 2018, the latter was part of a team tasked to provide the agency with geospatial intelligence data on the Arctic region to help with its persistent surveillance of the location.
