Valuable info for those planning to submit a proposal for the 3DEP BAA in 2022. ⤵️

ICYMI: Broad Agency Announcement: Plan to submit a proposal to the FY22 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) BAA for lidar acquisition?

The 3DEP BAA is a public process to develop partnerships for the collection of lidar and derived elevation data for 3DEP. The 3DEP BAA provides an opportunity for ongoing national collaboration so that Federal, State, and local governments, the private sector and citizens have access to and derive benefits from publicly available 3D elevation data. Applicants can contribute funds toward lidar data acquisition via the Geospatial Products and Services Contracts or they can request 3DEP funds toward lidar data acquisition where the applicant manages the data acquisition contract.

Learn more about the application process at a public webinar: August 11 at 1:00 pm EDT (10:00 am PDT).
