Space Imaging has been awarded a contract

Service.

Under this Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, Space

database updating, natural resource modeling and analysis, GIS application
development, and cartographic map production.

“Space Imaging’s long standing relationship with Region 5 is the product
of our commitment to the Agency and a reflection of the company’s
understanding of the Forest Service’s vision, mission and critical
requirements. We have proudly supported the region for the past 12 years and
are consistently looking for innovative ways to support this important
customer,” says Jim Schriever, executive director for Space Imaging’s Federal,
