About this vehicle
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a Master IDIQ for hydrographic surveying services supporting nautical charting on January 1, 2025, with ordering authority through December 31, 2029. The vehicle carries a $450 million shared ceiling across six base awards, two reserved for small businesses, and operates on an unrestricted (non-set-aside) basis at the task-order level.
Ordering remains active with 3 years 5 months of authority remaining. The vehicle established 14 task orders worth $75.9 million in combined potential value as of July 1, 2026, with $74.4 million obligated (98% of potential value). Activity peaked in 2025 with 11 orders and has slowed to 3 orders year-to-date in 2026, signaling either natural variation in annual demand or a transitional pattern as initial task orders mature.
Work centers on hydrographic data collection in U.S. territorial waters—Atlantic and Gulf Coast harbors (Tampa Bay, Cape Cod, Mount Desert Island), Great Lakes (Thunder Bay, Pocomoke), Pacific Northwest (Columbia River, Valdez), Alaska waters (Norton Sound), and Pacific Islands (American Samoa, Mariana Islands)—with geographies spreading across CONUS and OCONUS to support charting priorities and offshore critical-minerals assessment under Executive Order 14285.
Competitive concentration is moderate. NV5 Geospatial leads by potential value with $28.5 million across 3 orders (37.5% of combined vehicle value). Ocean Surveys, Etrac, and Terrasond each hold $8.7 million to $10.8 million. The remaining two primes (Woolpert and David Evans and Associates) together account roughly $11 million. The top five primes capture 87% of combined potential value, leaving modest long-tail activity. Customer concentration is absolute: NOAA's National Ocean Service, Office of Coast Survey places all 14 orders.
Typical task-order values range from $402,550 (Valdez) to $12 million (American Samoa survey), with most falling between $2.9 million and $8.5 million. All awards are firm-fixed-price delivery orders with 12-18 month performance windows. Work requires vessel and equipment capacity meeting hydrographic survey standards, qualified personnel meeting regulatory certifications, and experience in coastal and inland navigation support.
