Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC)

The Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants. The contract focuses on providing comprehensive geospatial products and services, with a primary emphasis on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data collection, processing, and mapping. The vehicle supports a wide range of geospatial needs, including digital aerial photography, digital aerotriangulation, airborne LiDAR, photogrammetric mapping, remote sensing, topographic mapping, river navigational charting, and land use/land cover analysis.

Task orders under this GPSC consistently demonstrate a focus on high-precision geospatial data collection, primarily serving federal agencies like the USGS, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The most frequent prime contractors include Woolpert, Inc., Dewberry Consultants LLC, and G M R Aerial Surveys, Inc. (Photo Science), with contract values typically ranging from $30,000 to $5.4 million and durations spanning 6-24 months. Most task orders are firm fixed-price contracts without specific set-aside designations, and performance locations are distributed across multiple states, with significant work in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and coastal regions. Many task orders are linked to specific national interest actions, such as Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, and involve creating precise digital elevation models, orthoimagery, and LiDAR datasets at various point densities and resolutions.
