NOAA NOS Coastal Geospatial Services

The NOAA NOS Coastal Geospatial Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle provides comprehensive geospatial services to support the National Ocean Service's (NOS) Office for Coastal Management. Originating from a November 2019 sources sought notice, the contract seeks firms capable of delivering end-to-end geospatial capabilities including lidar and imagery data acquisition, thematic mapping, topographic and bathymetric product generation, surveying, and geospatial data services. The vehicle enables NOAA to obtain specialized technical expertise for coastal resource management projects throughout the United States, its territories, and nearby areas, with a total contract ceiling of $49 million and an ultimate ordering period through August 28, 2026.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate high-value, specialized geospatial mapping and analysis work across coastal and marine environments. Prime contractors including Tetra Tech, NV5 Geospatial, Woolpert, and Axim Geospatial frequently win task orders ranging from $50,000 to over $6 million, with typical performance periods between six months and three years. Common project types include high-resolution land cover and impervious surface mapping, bathymetric surveys, coastal habitat mapping, sea level rise visualization, and development of geospatial data platforms. Most task orders are firm fixed-price and do not utilize small business set-asides, with performance locations spanning coastal states like Massachusetts, Alaska, Michigan, California, and Florida, as well as U.S. territories. Many task orders are funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), supporting NOAA's coastal management, resilience planning, and environmental monitoring initiatives.
