Federal government agencies in the U.S. announced streamlining access to powerful geospatial intelligence and location data services from an approved contractor on the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule, Nearmap, which is an Australian location data and aerial imagery technology company that provides high-resolution and frequently-updated aerial images.
Since Nearmap on the GSA schedule offers streamlined access to scalable and accurate aerial mapping tools, location data, and imagery of over 80% of the U.S. population, the inclusion of GSA is of great importance to federal government agencies. It enables government entities to save money and time by avoiding using pre-established and standardized pricing, terms, and conditions to acquire high-quality goods and services and by avoiding long contractual terms.
Federal civil asset management, homeland security, environmental studies, infrastructure management, military asset management, and FEMA resilience response and recovery missions are the industries that benefit from Nearmap's robust location data intelligence and aerial imaging. Nearmap has gained huge popularity across government sectors, getting its hands on numerous government contracts in the U.S. including the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Army National Guard. The reach and access of Nearmap on the GSA will only extend with its inclusion across these sectors.
Government agencies are hungry for the level of detail and sophistication that Nearmap location intelligence and data can add to their workflows. The addition of Nearmap to the GSA Schedule will streamline access for these agencies that rely on the most up-to-date location data to support the many critical services that government agencies provide—allowing them to make better informed decisions for their constituents… faster."
