October 04, 2021
Maxar Technologies has been
awarded an Option Year 2 contract renewal by the
U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
for the Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (G-EGD)
program. The contract, which began September 1,
2021, is valued at $44 million. This is the second
of three option years for the contract, which has a
total value of up to $176M.
With this award, Maxar will
continue to provide more than 400,000 U.S.
government users with unclassified, online and
offline, on-demand access to high-resolution
commercial imagery from Maxar in addition to
geospatial data from other industry providers. Since
2011, the G-EGD program has enabled warfighters,
first responders, intelligence analysts and civil
government users to tap into Maxar’s 125-petabyte
historical imagery library and daily imagery
collections for time-sensitive, mission-critical
planning and operations.
“The G-EGD platform provides
U.S. and allied users with access to geospatial
intelligence from a variety of industry providers at
locations around the globe,” said Dan Jablonsky,
Maxar CEO. “This ‘one-stop shop’ for commercial
imagery access across federal agencies and military
branches is an essential element for many national
security and humanitarian missions. Maxar is proud
to continue supporting warfighters and analysts with
the information and insight to make confident
decisions.”
