Gunnison Consulting Group (“Gunnison”) is pleased to announce its significant role as the major subcontractor on the U.S. Census Bureau’s U.S. Geographic Update Partnership Software IV (GUPS IV) contract, awarded to Imagine Believe Realize (IBR). This contract marks the fourth development phase of the innovative, open-source, GIS GUPS applications. Gunnison previously served as the prime contractor for the last three contract awards, further solidifying its expertise and longstanding partnership with the Census Bureau.

Under this new contract, Gunnison and IBR will continue their robust partnership to enhance the existing GUPS desktop and web applications. The contract includes a one-year base period with six one-year options and a six-month extension, potentially extending the contract for a total of 7.5 years.

  • 2030 Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Operation

  • 2030 Count Review Operation (CRO)

  • 2030 Keying Operations: Island Areas (IA), Remote Alaska (RE) & Update Enumerate (UE)

  • Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP)

  • 2030 Decennial Census New Construction (NC) Program

  • 2030 Census Count Question Resolution Program

  • Public Use Microdata Areas Program

Gunnison and IBR will collaborate on the design, development, and testing of the GUPS applications to support these programs, as well as annual programs such as the Boundary and Annexation Survey and School District Review Program (SDRP), through September 2031.

This partnership underscores Gunnison’s over 30-year history of delivering innovative software solutions to clients across civilian, health, and defense agencies. It also highlights a longstanding collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, spanning these three decades.
