BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) TITLE: Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX)
BAA NUMBER: BAA FA8750-21-S-7006
PART I – OVERVIEW INFORMATION
This announcement is for an Open, 2 Step BAA which is open and effective until 30 SEP 2026. Only white papers will be accepted as initial submissions; formal proposals will be accepted by invitation only. While white papers will be considered if received prior to 3 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 30 SEP 2026, the following submission dates are suggested to best align with projected funding:CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: Seeking white papers for research, development, integration, test and evaluation of technologies/techniques to provide geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in all its forms and from whatever source - imagery, imagery intelligence, or geospatial data and information - to ensure a solid foundation of knowledge for planning, decision, and action while creating tailored, customer-specific geospatial intelligence, analytic services, and solutions. This BAA is a follow-on to BAA FA8750-17-S-7004 Knowledge Aided GEOINT Latency Reduction (KAGLR)
BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $99.9M. Individual awards will not normally exceed 24 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $250K to $10M. There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount.
ANTICIPATED INDIVIDUAL AWARDS: Multiple Awards are anticipated.
TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: Procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements or other transactions (OT) depending upon the nature of the work proposed. In the event that an Other Transaction for Prototype agreement is awarded as a result of this competitive BAA, and the prototype project is successfully completed, there is the potential for a prototype project to transition to award of a follow-on production contract or transaction. The Other Transaction for Prototype agreement itself will also contain a similar notice of a potential follow-on production contract or agreement.
