UNSPSC 81151602: Map production

UNSPSC 81151602 Map production is a Commodity code capturing the range of geospatial data acquisition, processing, and mapping services that state and local governments procure to support asset management, emergency response, planning, and operational decision-making. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring aerial orthoimagery and LiDAR data collection, utility and infrastructure mapping via survey and GIS, parcel and property assessments using high-resolution imagery, sidewalk and pedestrian facility inventories with condition scoring, vegetation community surveys for land management, and GIS platform hosting and enterprise data management. The work extends beyond traditional cartography into cloud-based geospatial analytics, change detection modeling, field data collection systems, and integration with computer-aided dispatch, asset management, and planning software.

Issuing bodies include cities (Detroit, Orlando, Waco, Long Beach, Savannah, Bainbridge, Canton, Decatur, Salem), counties (Broward, Collier, Harris, McLennan, Williamson, Forsyth, Union), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Military Department, Texas Water Development Board, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), transit authorities (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority), water districts (Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District, Upper Floridan Springs Water Quality District, Harris County Flood Control District), and university systems (Texas State University, Albany State University). Counties and cities appear most active, with Broward County and its transportation and water/wastewater divisions posting multiple opportunities. Recent opportunities span aerial orthoimagery acquisition with 4-band or multispectral capability (Waco, McLennan County), UAV thermal and visual imagery services for utility pole and transmission-line inspection (Lubbock Power & Light), GIS platform migration and enterprise system design (Detroit), land surveying on-call frameworks (Harris County Flood Control, Williamson County, Upper Floridan Springs), historic resource surveys with field documentation and GNAHRGIS database entry (Tybee Island), comprehensive plan development with public engagement and GIS integration (Forsyth County), standards-of-cover fire-service deployment analysis with GIS modeling (Decatur), environmental site assessment and brownfield mapping (Columbus), and specialized digital orthoimagery with impervious surface change detection (Waco-McLennan County partnership). Florida, Georgia, and Texas show the highest recent concentration of activity, with additional opportunities in Oregon, Wisconsin, Colorado, and scattered Northeast and West Coast jurisdictions. Two representative recent procurements: Rockland County Highway Department issued RFP RC2026030 for street-level panoramic imagery, LiDAR, and GIS asset inventory services with a proposal deadline of October 29, 2026; the City of Waco and McLennan County issued RFP 2026-050 for regional digital orthoimagery acquisition and impervious surface change mapping covering approximately 1,297 square miles at 6-inch ground sample distance, with proposals due September 25, 2026, and imagery capture required during the January–February 2027 winter leaf-off window.
