USACE Contract Means $420K Stimulus Money to GIS Firm

Stimulus

This is one of the first, if not the first, GIS contract I've heard of resulting from the stimulus. Applied Data Consultants of Eau Claire WI will perform two projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: creating a GIS for parcels owned by the Omaha District COE near Glasgow, Montana and building a Web portal for the district's Natural Resource Division.

You forgot the $51,000 that ESRI received in a no-bid sole-source award from the ARRA offices for an Enterprise License Agreement.

I guess that isn't a contract in the same sense, since ESRI 'doesn't do services' and this is only for access to their completely unique software.

How is it that the Oversight office can award such a contract without free and open competition? Even 15 minutes worth of internet research would have shown there are at least dozens of firms that could have delivered the same (or better) functionality for equal (or much less) money.

There's transparency, and then there's transparency as interpreted inside the Beltway. We're witnessing the latter, rather than the former.
