The Government is seeking firms capable of providing two terrestrial laser scanning systems capable of collecting survey-grade 3D data at long range (≥ 2,000m) and a portable short range (>600m) from limited and potentially remote terrestrial vantage points, while maintaining high accuracy and sufficient point density to support emergency response, damage assessment, and geodetic applications nationwide.

Firms must provide a response that demonstrates that they are capable of providing terrestrial laser scanning systems that have the following approximate characteristics:

• Long-Range Terrestrial Lidar System:

• The system shall be a terrestrial laser scanner suitable for outdoor survey and mapping applications.

• The first system shall be capable of collecting high-precision terrestrial LiDAR data at stand-off distances of at least 2,000 meters under manufacturer-published operating conditions.

• The second system shall be capable of collecting high-precision terrestrial LiDAR data at stand-off distances of at least 600 meters under manufacturer-published operating conditions.

• 1 year warranty option

• Associated software, maintenance, training and licensing plans
