The USGS has the opportunity to obtain all this orthoimagery from the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) at approximately 6.3% of the cost of the entire project because other agencies and local governments are contributing to this project.

However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services and provide considerable cost sharing are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-response to this request without further consideration.
