NGA Issues Solicitation for New, $290M Economic Indicator Monitoring Contract LUNO

LUNO A will replace the $60 million Economic Indicator Monitoring (EIM) contract awarded in August 2021. The original EIM contract was for $29 million and was expanded to $60 million due to strong demand for the unclassified analytics and services. “Because of the incredible success with the EIM contract, we’ve substantially increased our financial commitment to commercial capabilities with LUNO A,” Devin Brande, director of NGA Commercial Operations, said in a statement. Those areas are general change detection, climate security and natural resources, feature identification, infrastructure and high cadence transportation network monitoring, facility monitoring, incidental and fortuitous processing, and emerging products, data and services, NGA said. The current contractors that compete for task orders on the EIM contract are BAE Systems, Ball Aerospace, BlackSky Technology, Continental Mapping Consultants, and Royce Geospatial Consultants.
