3DEP FY22 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Instructional Webinar

This webinar provides an overview of the Federal fiscal year (FY) 21/22 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation and application process. The goal of 3DEP is to complete acquisition of nationwide lidar (IfSAR in Alaska) to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution elevation data – both bare earth and 3D point clouds – collected in a timeframe of less than a decade. Oversight for 3DEP is the responsibility of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Geospatial Program (NGP). However, 3DEP is a collaborative program and includes many Federal, State, Tribal and local governments as well as private sector and non-profit organizations who are working together to achieve the goal of national coverage of enhanced elevation data for the nation. The 3DEP BAA offers a fair and equitable process that allows Federal, State, local, Tribal, and private organizations to propose 3DEP lidar data acquisition partnerships.
