Based on the info (RFP) available from the state, it looks like they are just asking for the same aerial high definition digital photography mapping service in use by many law enforcement, fire, wildlife conservation, utility companies, etc, etc, etc on the mainland to get a "birds-eye" view of an area they are working. Things like Google map is way too outdated for public safety use and isn’t high def enough to give the details required.
To get an idea of what they are talking about, here’s a link to one such GIS system:

You will see that you can zoom into a single property and (if you enable the aerial) you can see every fire plug, and every manhole cover on a street.
