Geospatial Products and Services Contract V2 (GPSC2)

The Geospatial Products and Services Contract Version 2 (GPSC2) is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to facilitate the procurement of geospatial data, tools, applications, and services. The contract enables federal agencies to acquire a wide range of geospatial products and services, including Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data collection, aerial photography, digital aerotriangulation, photogrammetric mapping, remote sensing, topographic mapping, river navigational charting, and land use/land cover analysis. Primarily serving the needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans District, the contract also supports other regional districts and federal agencies in obtaining high-quality geospatial information.

The task orders under the GPSC2 contract consistently demonstrate a focus on geospatial data collection and mapping, with contract values ranging from approximately $25,000 to $1.2 million and typical performance periods of 6-18 months. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Digital Aerial Solutions, LLC (a small disadvantaged, woman-owned business), Fugro Earthdata, Inc. (a foreign-owned company), and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The majority of task orders support mapping and LiDAR projects for agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Geographically, the task orders cover diverse regions across the United States, with a notable concentration in southeastern states like Louisiana, Florida, and Arkansas. Critically, none of the observed task orders utilized small business set-asides, suggesting open competition among the prime contractors.
