Army - GIS and Custom Web Map Services - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the U.S. Army, is conducting market research to support the U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program and other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies operating within the USAREUR-AF area of responsibility. The overarching goal of this initiative is to enhance the Army's training capabilities while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations across Europe and Africa. This project reflects the U.S. Army's commitment to maintaining military readiness through sustainable land management practices that align with host nation laws and environmental stewardship principles.

The work requested involves a comprehensive range of services aimed at supporting ITAM's mission, which includes GIS and custom web map services, remote sensing/image analysis, computer programming services, and land management consulting. These services are integral to maintaining or enhancing military training lands in a manner that meets doctrinal training requirements while adhering to environmental compliance mandates. The scope of work will primarily focus on providing Range and Training Land Assessment (RTLA), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and land management consulting services under various Task Orders.

Specific tasks under these orders may include developing Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans (INRMP), Land Management Plans (LMP), conducting RTLA to assess training land conditions, capabilities, and capacity, as well as performing multi-temporal analyses of land condition changes. Additional responsibilities involve acquiring aerial imagery and satellite data for environmental assessments, managing remote sensing missions, developing classification systems for ecological mapping, performing field surveys for natural resources protection including Natura 2000 areas, as well as archaeological and cultural resource inventories.

Through these efforts, the ITAM program seeks to support U.S. Army Commands by assisting in interpreting host nation environmental laws and ensuring adherence to U.S. DoD guidelines regarding overseas operations. By leveraging advanced technologies such as LiDAR data acquisition and remote sensing techniques alongside comprehensive environmental planning strategies, this initiative aims to balance military operational needs with ecological preservation across diverse landscapes in Europe and Africa.
