The Defense Logistics Agency is researching an enterprise geospatial information system, or eGIS that would integrate data from multiple sources and non-geospatial information, display the information and provide situational awareness/ and reporting.

DLA envisions the eGIS providing up to date information to up to 500 users while assisting in several decision making processes, including:

Managing infrastructure and property
Planning for contingency operations
Tracking logistics routing
Supporting disaster response
Strengthening emergency services capabilities

Responses to the request for information are due by Aug. 26. Responders must be prepared to provide a live demonstration.
