About the 3DEP BAA
3DEP relies on investments from a wide range of 3DEP stakeholders with interest in developing partnerships to share data acquisition costs in support of individual mission and business requirements. The 3DEP BAA provides a vehicle for partnering with the USGS and other Federal agencies to acquire high-quality 3D Elevation data to advance the program's goal of providing the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution topographic elevation data – both bare earth and 3D point clouds.
Federal agencies, State and local governments, Tribes, academic institutions and the private sector are eligible to submit proposals. Applicants to the 3DEP BAA may contribute funds toward a USGS lidar data acquisition via the Geospatial Products and Services Contracts (GPSC) or they may request 3DEP funds toward a lidar data acquisition where the requesting partner is the acquiring authority.
Since the first BAA in FY15, the USGS has supported over 210 projects resulting in more than 1,000,000 mi2 of new data.
Future Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
The FY23 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) was released in Fall 2022. The BAA provides detailed information on how to partner with the USGS and other Federal agencies to acquire high-quality 3D Elevation data.
