The agreement provides value pricing to the DOI and affiliated

“ENVI is used extensively at the DOI to monitor climate, energy
production, critical habitats and recreational areas,” said Stuart
Blundell, general manager and director of sales at Exelis VIS.
“Exelis is committed to making the process of accessing and
maintaining the ENVI software stack at the DOI more streamlined and
efficient.”
ENVI is the flagship image analysis software product offer by
Exelis. It has been used for more than 25 years to extract
meaningful information from geospatial data to help make better
decisions about mineral exploration, precision agriculture,
environmental degradation, national defense and more. The DOI
currently uses ENVI to access, visualize and analyze landsat
imagery — a critical earth observation program operated by the
United States Geologic Survey (USGS). Spectroscopic analysis of
minerals by the USGS; analysis and product generation of LiDAR
(Light Detection and Ranging) by the National Park Service; and
monitoring energy production land use by the Bureau of Land
Management are other ways the DOI uses ENVI software.
The BPA is in place for one year with an option to renew for the
following four years.
