The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) selected 13 companies to provide geospatial intelligence under the Luno B contract, the agency announced Wednesday. 

Luno B is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ) with a $200 million ceiling with a five-year base period. The purpose of the contract is to give GEOINT users data and analytic services to characterize economic, environmental and geopolitical activity around the world, as well as illegal, unregulated and unreported activities. 

Airbus U.S. Space & Defense; BAE Systems; Booz Allen Hamilton; BlackSky Geospatial Solutions; BlueHalo; CACI Federal; Deloitte Financial Advisory Services; Electromagnetic Systems; Maxar Mission Solutions; NV5 Geospatial; Planet Labs Federal; Royce Geospatial Consultants; and Ursa Space Systems; were all selected for the contract. 

These vendors will compete on an open basis for future delivery orders under the contract. 

“Luno B will provide the national security community with timely access to high-quality commercial GEOINT. The contract will enable NGA to lead the GEOINT enterprise in applying GEOINT artificial intelligence, while delivering decision advantage to our warfighters, policy makers and mission partners,” the NGA said in a release. 

The NGA said this contract is part of the agency’s effort to have an agile acquisition strategy for commercial data. Last year, the NGA named 10 companies to the Luno A contract in September 2024, with a $290 million ceiling. 

All 10 of the companies on the Luno A contract are also on the Luno B contract. Planet Labs, BAE Systems, and Deloitte Financial Services are new on Luno B.
