About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Technology and Development Geospatial Service and Technology Center is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures geospatial and remote-sensing technologies, data services, and technical support for the Forest Service's natural-resource management missions. The Center awarded 1,450 federal contracts cumulatively since 2007, with 11 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, 25 in 2024, 21 in 2025, and 3 year-to-date in 2026, generating a combined potential value of $148.4 million and $140.2 million in obligated dollars.
Over the last five years, competitive concentration is highly fragmented among prime contractors by potential value, though a small cohort dominates by award count. Redcastle Resources Inc. leads with 53 awards and $26.1 million in combined potential value, followed by Xentity Corporation with 15 awards and $7.5 million. These two firms account for 91 percent of recent awards by count but only 23 percent of combined potential value by dollar, indicating that the Center distributes contract volume across a long tail of smaller vendors — 146 distinct prime contractors have been awarded since 2007, with a concentration pattern reflective of smaller, specialized geospatial-services work. The top five contractors by potential value hold 23 percent of recent combined value, a signal that no single vendor dominates the dollar portfolio.
Set-asides are evenly split between small-business and unrestricted awards. Fifty-two percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 38 percent are small-business set-asides. Eight-point-three percent are 8(a) awards — predominantly sole-source vehicles (11 percent of the total portfolio), with one competitive 8(a) award. A single Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business award appears in the portfolio. The high proportion of unrestricted awards and reliance on 8(a) sole-source vehicles suggests the Center prioritizes direct engagement with experienced geospatial vendors and focuses less on competitive small-business carve-outs.
No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded in the source data.
