<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt">On July 17, 2015, the USGS issued the FY15/FY16 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The BAA provides detailed information on how to partner with the USGS and other Federal agencies
to acquire high-quality 3D Elevation data. Information and contacts are now available at <a href="https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=f3c4c7863f50189e0ae6b9919687a5bf&tab=core&_cview=0" target="_blank">Fed Biz Opps</a> (Search for Reference

the Geospatial Products and Services Contracts or they may request 3DEP funds toward a lidar data acquisition activity where the requesting partner is the acquiring authority. Federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, academic institutions and
the private sector are eligible to submit pre-proposals. Pre-proposals are due by 1:00PM ETon August 25, 2015. Full Proposals are due by 1:00PM ET on October 23, 2015<a href="http://nationalmap.gov/3DEP/BAAReferenceMaterials.html" target="_blank">Reference
