UNSPSC 81103301: Geomatics site characterization offshore

Carry out technical studies, surveys and investigations to establish the characteristics of marine development areas, sites and routes.

UNSPSC 81103301 Geomatics site characterization offshore (Commodity) captures topographic surveys, utility locating, land surveying, and related professional consulting services for infrastructure and capital projects, but recent state and local opportunities show the code is being solicited almost exclusively for terrestrial (not offshore) surveying work supporting municipal infrastructure design, site characterization, and construction administration. Cities, counties, school districts, and water authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with no standout repeat buyers across the recent opportunities but consistent demand across multiple jurisdictions for on-call surveying pools and project-specific design support.

California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas show the strongest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Santa Cruz Public Works Department's RFQu for Swanton and Laurel Survey (RFQu RFQUNOPW0303, due May 28, 2026) seeking topographic survey work and AutoCAD design file development for two multi-use pathway projects; the City of Sarasota's Citywide Continuing Professional Services procurement (RFP 2616MC, due February 17, 2026) establishing a pool of architectural, engineering, planning, surveying, and related services; and the Alameda County Water District's RFP for reservoir ground monitoring survey and as-needed surveying services (RFP 6345, due April 24, 2026) requiring California-licensed surveyors with experience in water facility monitoring. Atlanta Independent School System (APS) issued an RFQu for surveying services (26-06022-Q-AR, due March 20, 2026) with an approved annual expenditure of $300,000 across the vendor pool. Work is performed at multiple locations within each jurisdiction—schools, parks, utility facilities, corridors, and municipal right-of-way—with California prevailing wage and E-Verify compliance required where applicable. Most contracts offer multiple one-year renewal options and are structured as continuing service agreements with task orders or hourly rate schedules rather than fixed award values, indicating sustained demand for responsive, on-call surveying capacity across municipal capital improvement and infrastructure maintenance cycles.
