NOAA NOS Coastal Geospatial Services

NOAA's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration established this Master IDIQ for professional geospatial services supporting coastal resource management under the National Ocean Service Office for Coastal Management, with ordering authority ending August 28, 2026 — slightly more than one month remaining. The vehicle has no set-aside restrictions and funds all work unrestricted.

Ordering activity remains steady but moderate. NOAA has issued 65 task orders since the vehicle's August 2021 award, with two orders placed in 2026 and eleven in 2025. Peak activity occurred in 2024 with 20 orders. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $46.6 million, with $36.2 million obligated to date (78% of potential). The vehicle carries a $49 million shared ceiling.

Work centers on lidar and imagery acquisition, thematic mapping, topographic and bathymetric data generation, digital elevation models, land-cover classification, and specialized geospatial data management and software development. Recent orders reflect established priorities: coastal change analysis, water level reanalysis, high-resolution land-cover mapping across multiple states, invasive species monitoring, marine cadastral data development, and cloud-based coastal model deployment. Orders span the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Four firms hold all awarded orders. NV5 Geospatial, Inc. leads with 22 orders worth $19.8 million combined potential value, followed closely by Woolpert, Inc. with 15 orders and $15.5 million in potential value. Tetra Tech, Inc. holds 21 orders valued at $8.9 million, and Axim Geospatial LLC accounts for 7 orders worth $2.4 million. The field is highly concentrated; these four firms account for all activity under the vehicle.

A single customer funds all orders: NOAA itself, through the Office for Coastal Management. Task orders typically range from under $25,000 to approximately $2.9 million in ceiling value, with several multi-year efforts and optional renewal periods extending into 2028. Firm fixed price is the standard pricing type. Geographic performance spans federal territories and the continental United States, emphasizing coastal states and Great Lakes regions where OCM manages Digital Coast data infrastructure and coastal resilience initiatives.
