John Mootz (APFO) gave a synopsis of the new 5 year IDIQ contract and a general assessment of the 2012 season. The new contract was awarded on April 30, 2012 to three prime contractors: Northwest, Premier Geospatial, and Surdex. Under this IDIQ contract, two task orders were issued.

The first task award was for 18 states (all 11 of the priority one states and 8 priority two states). An additional task award was issued on June 14, 2012 for 3 states when approximately $1.6M of additional funding was released from FSA. With the exception of 4 QQs and 55 partial QQs in Texas due to Mexican authorities refusing to grant airspace clearance into Mexico, all imagery was collected (nine states required minor season extension). All imagery was delivered to APFO ahead of schedule.
