UNSPSC 81103306 Geomatics remote sensing services is a Commodity code covering survey, mapping, and geospatial data services that state and local governments use to support assessment, design, infrastructure, and planning functions. Recent solicitations show the code capturing traditional professional surveying and mapping work—boundary surveys, topographic surveys, aerial imagery, orthophotography, ALTA/ACSM surveys, as-built surveys, and construction staking—alongside property intelligence and remote-sensing solutions. Cities, counties, and special-purpose districts issue most work through RFQs and RFPs for continuing on-call contracts, with Florida municipalities (Casselberry, Altamonte Springs, Plant City, Sarasota) and California jurisdictions (Santa Cruz, Ada County) prominent in recent postings. Counties in Wisconsin, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona round out the geographic footprint. The code's scope tilts heavily toward design support and compliance work—plat review, floodplain analysis, stormwater modeling, landfill operations support, and historic resource documentation—rather than pure remote sensing.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Altamonte Springs RFP 26-073-GR for continuing surveying and mapping services (RFP, due June 26, 2026), which sought firms for ALTA surveys, boundary surveys, topographic surveys, utility location, aerial photography, and 21-day plat-review turnaround; Dane County's professional surveying and mapping services procurement (RFQ 326027, proposals due September 10, 2026) for on-call support at active and closed landfill sites with five-year term and hourly-rate pricing; Ada County's orthophotography and property intelligence RFP (RFP27003, proposals due October 17, 2026) targeting imagery and parcel data integration for assessment operations; and the City of Santa Cruz's topographic survey RFQu for two multi-use pathway projects (RFQu RFQUNOPW0303, due May 28, 2026). Most contracts carry three- to five-year terms with hourly or lump-sum fee schedules and require Florida or state-specific professional licensure, $1 million to $2 million professional liability insurance, and E-Verify compliance. Set-asides for small business or disadvantaged enterprises appear selectively—Pinellas County's waste-to-energy engineering RFQ mandates 10% SBE participation for assignments exceeding $50,000—but are not uniform across this code.
