PSC Category T009-P (Photo/Map/Print/Publication - Aerial Photographic) encompasses a wide range of aerial imaging and geospatial data collection services. These services include aerial photography, LiDAR data acquisition, orthoimagery, satellite imagery, and topographic/bathymetric mapping. The category supports various federal agency missions, including environmental monitoring, wildlife management, coastal research, infrastructure assessment, and disaster response.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly involve geospatial service providers delivering precise aerial imagery and data collection services. Contract values range from $10,000 to over $9.7 million, with performance periods typically spanning several months to multiple years. Frequently awarded entities include Woolpert, Inc., NV5 Geospatial, Overwatch Aero LLC, and Surdex Corporation. Common funding agencies are the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, with performance locations spanning national forests, wildlife refuges, coastal regions, and military installations across the United States.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities continue the trend of soliciting specialized aerial imagery and data collection services. The opportunities include requests for topobathymetric LiDAR, satellite imagery for wildlife monitoring, un-crewed aerial system (UAS) services, and high-resolution coastal mapping. Federal agencies like NOAA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Geological Survey are seeking contractors to support missions including environmental restoration, marine mammal tracking, law enforcement support, and scientific research. Performance locations include national wildlife refuges in Pennsylvania and Hawaii, coastal regions, and various marine science centers.
