UNSPSC 81103303: Geomatics well and engineering delivery services

Geomatics is the discipline concerned with the collection, distribution, storage, analysis, processing and presentation of geographic data or geographic information.

UNSPSC 81103303 Geomatics well and engineering delivery services is a Commodity code covering topographic surveys, site design surveys, utility locating, and professional land surveying support for infrastructure and capital projects that state and local governments solicit on a project-by-project and continuing-services basis. The work spans initial site assessment and condition documentation—capturing curbs, utilities, hydrants, trees, retaining walls, and other ground features for design file development—through construction-phase surveying, staking, as-built documentation, and related geotechnical consultation. Cities and counties represent the bulk of recent issuing bodies, alongside water districts, school systems, and regional authorities; municipal engineering and public works departments post RFQs and RFPs regularly, often establishing rotating vendor pools or continuing-services agreements rather than one-off awards. Florida municipalities (City of Sarasota, City of Plant City, Pinellas County, City of Sebastian) and California jurisdictions (City of Santa Cruz, Alameda County Water District, Mt. San Antonio Community College District) show the most recent activity, though Georgia cities (Atlanta Public Schools, City of Dunwoody, City of Albany, Jackson County Water and Sewerage Authority), Texas municipalities (City of Edinburg, Okaloosa County, University of Texas at Tyler), and South Carolina authorities (Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority) also post regularly.

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Santa Cruz Public Works Department's RFQ for topographic survey work on the Swanton and Laurel infrastructure projects (due May 28, 2026, later updated), the City of Sarasota's qualification-based procurement for a continuing professional services pool covering surveying and related disciplines under Florida's Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (due February 10, 2026), and the Atlanta Independent School System's vendor-pool RFQ for surveying services across 83 school sites and 1,100 acres (due March 20, 2026). The City of Santa Cruz also sought an RFQ for the Arroyo Seco Canyon Trail Stabilization project, combining retaining wall and culvert design with topographic surveying and construction administration (SOQs due June 30, 2026). These procurements typically score on firm qualifications and experience (30–50 points), personnel and team composition (20–40 points), methodology and technical approach (10–30 points), and occasionally cost (10 percent), with contract terms ranging from one to three years and option renewals. Most set no explicit disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides, though some Florida procurements reference small-business certification and local vendor preferences; prevailing wage requirements are standard where applicable. No budget ranges are disclosed in the source materials, with compensation structured through hourly rate schedules, unit pricing for survey tasks, or task-order-based fee negotiation.
