US Ignite, Inc. (“US Ignite”) is seeking quotations from vendors to provide occupancy data on commercial and military facilities in the United States sourced from mobile location data aggregators.

This data is crucial for the Space Utilization using Mobile Occupancy (SUMO) project, where the objective is to use this data to help installations see which facilities are being under- or over-utilized, and to use this information to better plan space allocations.

The SUMO project initially falls under the Fort Benning Smart Installation and Community Dashboard (SICD) Program being managed by US Ignite, which is aligned with the Army Installation Modernization Pilot Program (AIMP2) managed on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment.

The pilot project and the AIMP2 program are part of a broader effort to develop a Common Operating Picture for Garrison Commands across the Army enterprise.

This project will also inform the requirements and may be part of VTIME Integrated Installation Planning (VIIP), a likely part of a newly approved Army program called Virtual Toolbox for Installation Mission Effectiveness (VTIME). It is also aligned with Deputy Chief of Staff – G9 (DCS-G9) and the Enterprise Proactive Real Property Interactive Space Management System (ePRISMS) program management.

If successful, the project has the opportunity to be scaled to additional locations on Fort Benning and other Army installations.
