The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has issued new delivery orders under its Luno A and Luno B contracts, tapping three companies for commercial geospatial analytics covering object monitoring, human geography, and domain awareness.
Under Luno A, BlackSky Geospatial Solutions won the Facility and Object Monitoring 2 delivery order, valued at $24.4 million, to deliver products, data and services aimed at detecting objects such as aircraft, ships, ground equipment and railcars, as well as tracking changes at specified locations of interest.
Under Luno B, NV5 Geospatial received the $4.5 million Almanac delivery order to provide worldwide human geography information, including baseline data, while Ursa Space Systems secured the $21 million TrueSight delivery order to supply detection, identification, analysis and alerts on change and movement of objects using commercial sources and automated models for domain awareness.
“We see the mission impact of commercial GEOINT every day,” said Devin Brande, director of NGA Commercial Operations. “The Luno contracts are a key part of NGA’s strategy to leverage this vital source for our mission partners, providing key insights and actionable, shareable intelligence.”
Luno A and Luno B are five-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicles with a combined ceiling of $490 million. The contracts are designed to rapidly acquire unclassified commercial analytic services for users across the geospatial intelligence community, apply artificial intelligence to GEOINT workflows, and allow previously selected vendors to compete for task orders on a full and open basis.
NGA said six delivery orders have been awarded to date under the Luno vehicles, totaling about $70.8 million including the latest awards. Earlier Luno A awards went to Maxar Intelligence ($3.5 million) for Facility and Object Monitoring, Electromagnetic Systems ($3.6 million) for Feature ID, and Ursa Space Systems ($13.8 million) for Global Awareness Tracker. The new orders give Ursa awards under both Luno A and Luno B.
