FireGuard Wildfire Detection Program - ArcGIS Online Mapping Platform

Buyer: Department of Defense

Awardee

Esri

Details

The National Guard's FireGuard program, which fuses DoD sensors with civilian satellite data, distributes its fire-detection map products through NIFC's open-data site built on Esri's cloud-based ArcGIS Online platform; the program received $5M in expansion funding in 2020 and has produced over 127,000 fire maps since its 2019 California pilot.

NOT A PROCUREMENT ACTION. The cited Esri newsroom blog describes FireGuard as a National Guard program (about 60 intelligence specialists, teams in California and Colorado, launched as a 2019 California pilot with DoD, federal civil agencies and USGS) whose products are distributed via NIFC's open data site, which is built on ArcGIS Online. The article names no contract between DoD or the National Guard and Esri, no contract vehicle, no award date and no award value. The only dollar figure, $5 million, is COVID-era expansion funding for the FireGuard program itself, not an Esri award. Status 'Awarded' with awardee 'Esri' is not supported: it infers a contract from a technology-use narrative. Recommend removing the record, or reclassifying it as background/program context with the awardee field cleared.
