Satellite Imagery Dissemination Platform

The Department of Field Support (DFS) of the United Nations (UN) utilises satellite imagery to support the spatial data infrastructure, the decision making or the situational awareness of peace operations. UN-DFS procures satellite imagery across all spatial and spectral characteristics from several vendors, on a scene by scene basis, depending on its operational needs and priorities. End users of satellite imagery for military operations, crisis management and response, or logistics, emphasize the need for a faster turnaround between image acquisition and exploitation to support decision making. Further, series of images, capturing the same area over a period of time, are extremely useful to monitor changes and evolutions, but are complicated to obtain and expensive under current contractual conditions. The United Nations Procurement Division invites expressions of interest (EOI) from vendors with demonstrated technical qualifications in Satellite Imagery Dissemination Platforms. Procurement Division will be requesting proposals for the provision of a satellite imagery dissemination platform. DFS is seeking to acquire a solution that will give UN peace operations access to an extensive, recent, online library of high resolution archive satellite images covering the areas of interest of the UN Secretariat. This library will be constantly updated with fresh images to reflect ongoing changes on the ground.
