Shoreline Mapping Support Services

The Shoreline Mapping Support Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award contract designed to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) and National Geodetic Survey (NGS) in conducting comprehensive coastal and shoreline mapping services. This contract enables NOAA to efficiently procure specialized geospatial services for mapping, surveying, and data collection across U.S. coastal regions, territories, and nearby areas. The primary focus is on acquiring high-resolution geospatial data using advanced technologies such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), aerial photography, Global Positioning System (GPS) techniques, and other remote sensing methodologies to support nautical charting, coastal management, and infrastructure planning.

Recent task orders under this IDIQ vehicle demonstrate a diverse range of mapping and surveying projects, typically valued between $250,000 and $9 million, with performance periods ranging from six months to three years. Three prime contractors have consistently won task orders: NV5 Geospatial, Dewberry Engineers Inc., and Woolpert, Inc. The contracts primarily support mapping initiatives in coastal states like Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, and Hawaii, often funded through mechanisms such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Disaster Relief Act. Task orders have included topographic LiDAR collection, aerial imagery acquisition, shoreline mapping, ground surveys, gravity data collection, and post-disaster coastal assessment. None of the observed task orders utilized small business set-asides, and performance locations typically span the continental United States, Alaska, and U.S. territories like American Samoa.
