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 capturing professional surveying, mapping, and geotechnical engineering services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure planning, design, permitting, and construction support. Recent opportunities show municipalities and special districts soliciting these services under continuing-contract and on-call frameworks—competency-based selections where multiple qualified firms are retained to perform work orders issued throughout the contract term without requiring fresh competitive rounds for each assignment. The scope spans boundary surveys, topographic surveys, ALTA/ACSM surveys, construction staking, as-built surveys, certified survey maps, legal descriptions, subsurface utility exploration, aerial drone surveying, geotechnical investigation, hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, retention and detention system design, and lake assessment work. Issuing bodies include Florida municipalities (Casselberry, Altamonte Springs, Plant City, Sarasota), California counties and cities (Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz), Wisconsin counties (Dane County), Texas cities and special districts (Tucson, Edinburg, Harris County Flood Control District), and Georgia jurisdictions (Tybee Island, DeKalb County). Florida cities dominate recent activity, running recurring CCNA (Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act) procurements for stormwater engineering, surveying, and related consulting disciplines.

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the market: City of Casselberry issued SOQ20190424 for Stormwater and Lakes Management Projects (SOQ, responses due February 5, 2019, with intended awardees named March 19, 2019) seeking firms for hydraulic modeling, retention-detention design, and lake restoration; City of Altamonte Springs issued RFP 26-073-GR for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services (RFP, responses due June 26, 2026) requiring plat review completion within 21 calendar days and selection of a minimum of two firms; Dane County Department of Waste + Renewables issued RFQ 326027 for Professional Surveying and Mapping Services (RFP with mandatory pre-proposal meeting September 3, 2026, proposals due September 10, 2026) for landfill boundary, topographic, and aerial surveys with five-year term; City of Tucson issued RFQ No. 240202 for On-Call Professional Survey Services (RFQ with pre-submittal conference June 28, 2024, submissions due July 22, 2024) retaining up to twelve firms for as-needed projects under $500,000 each, with 5% aspirational DBE goal; and Harris County Flood Control District issued RFSQ 260271 (responses due September 21, 2026) for on-call land surveying supporting the District's flood control mission. The code sees steady activity across Florida, Texas, California, Wisconsin, and Georgia, with Florida-CCNA continuing contracts anchoring a significant volume.
