About this award

The U.S. Geological Survey's Water Resources Division awarded a $20K firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call to Ecoscan Resource Data LLC for aircraft rental services supporting remote sensing of coastal change monitoring. The award, issued on January 20, 2026, with completion targeted for January 19, 2027, is a task order under the contractor's larger multiple-award BPA with the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center. This call represents specialized aerial survey work to be performed from the contractor's base in Watsonville, California, where the company provides fixed-wing aircraft and pilot support for environmental monitoring initiatives. The contract carries no set-aside designation at the task order level, though the underlying master BPA was awarded as a total small business set-aside.

Ecoscan Resource Data LLC is a small business sole proprietorship that has maintained federal vendor registration since 2004 and specializes in delivering fixed-wing aircraft rental and pilot support services for scientific research and environmental data collection across federal civilian agencies. The contractor's work under the master BPA—valued at approximately $9.98M and effective through December 31, 2027—supports both USGS and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service mission requirements, including coastal change monitoring, waterfowl population assessments, and ecosystem monitoring across the lower 48 states. Ecoscan has demonstrated consistent performance delivering these specialized aerial survey capabilities, with recent task orders ranging from approximately $1.1K to $20K, supporting critical scientific research that enables federal agencies to assess environmental conditions and inform conservation management decisions.
