UNSPSC 81151603: Photogrammetry

UNSPSC 81151603 Photogrammetry is a Commodity code that spans aerial and ground-based imaging services used by state and local governments to create maps, conduct asset inventories, perform infrastructure inspections, and support planning and surveying work. Recent activity shows municipalities, counties, special-purpose districts, and state agencies soliciting photogrammetry-adjacent services including aerial orthoimagery acquisition, thermal and visual UAV imagery review, street-level panoramic imagery with LiDAR, GIS asset mapping, and oblique aerial photography for property assessment and utility infrastructure monitoring. The mix of issuing bodies includes cities (Waco, Detroit, Long Beach, Orlando, Tybee Island), counties (Rockland, Collier, McLennan, Harris, Williamson, Broward, Forsyth), state departments (Georgia, Texas, Texas State University System), transit authorities (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority), and specialized districts (Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District, Upper Floridan Springs Water Quality District). Representative recent solicitations include Rockland County Highway Department's RFP for street-level panoramic imagery, LiDAR, and GIS asset inventory services (due October 29, 2026); the City of Detroit's intent to sole-source aerial pictometry services for property assessment at an estimated contract value between $464,778 and $2,323,890 over one to five years (responses due October 2, 2026); and the City of Waco's RFP for regional digital orthoimagery acquisition and impervious surface change mapping in partnership with McLennan County (due September 25, 2026 at $2 per image specifications including 4-band, 6-inch ground sample distance coverage across 1,297 square miles).

Geographic concentration skews heavily toward Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon, Wisconsin, and New York. Texas solicitations dominate the recent pipeline: Lubbock Power & Light seeking UAV imagery review services for 75,000 utility structures annually (due September 10, 2026); Harris County Flood Control District requesting on-call land surveying (due September 21, 2026); Williamson County seeking surveying services (due August 11, 2026); and the Texas Military Department requesting vegetation community planning surveys at four training centers (due September 26, 2026). Florida buyers include the City of Casselberry (park planning and stormwater management SOQs), the City of DeBary (irrigation improvements, though mislabeled under photogrammetry in the source), Broward County (biosolids facility design and lift station rehabilitation), and the City of Altamonte Springs (surveying and mapping services RFP, due June 26, 2026). Georgia activity centers on surveying design services (State of Georgia AE50822, due September 16 and October 1, 2026) and the City of Canton's GIS services RFP (due August 27, 2026). The code shows active procurement across planning, utility inspection, asset management, and infrastructure design workflows, though several recent opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 81151603 address surveying, GIS, planning, and construction services that are tangentially related to photogrammetry rather than core image-acquisition work.
