The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado Region awarded a $20,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Technical Applications & Consulting LLC (TAC) on September 9, 2024, for stereo digital frame overhead imagery services across 14 sites within the Colorado Region. This total small business set-aside contract requires delivery of aerial imagery with a ground sample distance of 3 inches or less and 12-bit 3-band natural color imagery, with a period of performance extending through September 30, 2025. TAC, a small disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned business based in Topeka, Kansas, was selected as the prime contractor following a competitive solicitation posted on August 19, 2024.
TAC specializes in geospatial data collection and aerial imagery services for federal land management agencies, with an established track record of similar contracts with the BLM, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The imagery services procured under this contract will support the BLM's land management and resource assessment objectives in Colorado, consistent with the agency's mission to manage public lands and resources. The contract represents a straightforward commercial acquisition of specialized aerial surveying capabilities, with technical acceptability and competitive pricing as the primary evaluation criteria.
