Commercial Remote Sensing Data Contracts CRSDC Home | Fact Sheet | Vendors | Feedback | Data Request | Contacts The U. S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Commercial Remote Sensing Data Contracts (CRSDCs) provide Federal, State, and Local government agencies with access to a broad range of commercially available remotely sensed, high resolution, airborne and satellite data for both new acquisitions and existing "off-the-shelf" data including orthorectified, panchromatic, natural color, multispectral, infrared, radar, and aerial photography. The USGS has negotiated advantageous terms on behalf of purchasing organizations, including highly competitive pricing, discounts, and the most flexible and least restrictive licensing arrangements offered to date by the commercial satellite industry. These contracts directly support the President's Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP), signed in 2003, by providing a centralized mechanism for civil agencies to acquire commercial remote sensing products to support their mission needs in an efficient and coordinated way.
