About this file
This is a Statement of Need for a LiDAR scanner procurement by the 56 Civil Engineer Squadron (56 CES/CENME) dated 29 May 2026. The government seeks to upgrade legacy scanning equipment to enhance the installation's infrastructure maintenance and preservation capabilities, enabling high-fidelity facility scans and accurate floor plan generation. The modernization directly supports five mission areas: real property space-use accountability for sustainment funding, force protection through accurate fire evacuation planning and security awareness, maintenance and sustainment for HVAC/plumbing/electrical/structures shops, engineering and contracting baseline data for renovations and facility upgrades, and mishap investigation environmental capturing during aircraft incident surveys.
The vendor must provide a FARO Focus Core tripod-mounted laser scanner replacing the legacy FARO S150, meeting specified technical requirements including hybrid reality capture with flash technology, laser-illuminated HDR 13MP imaging, high-resolution panocam attachment, dual-axis compensator, internal compass and height sensor, operational temperature range of -10°C to +40°C, on-site registration and stream app functionality, and ruggedized hard case for transport. The procured hardware must achieve 100 percent compatibility with existing government software (FARO Scene and FARO As-Built), with scans natively processed within these programs and capable of auto-classifying scan regions and removing noise points. The vendor must provide a 5-year comprehensive warranty including parts, labor, and annual cleaning and system calibration, plus a trade-in credit for existing equipment (FARO S150 Scanner, FARO Free Style 2, and FARO Scan Plan). Vendors must advise the Contracting Officer of potential problem areas prior to quote submission and obtain written approval before conducting the transaction.

Statement of Need LiDAR Scanner for GeoBase Section, 56 CES/CENME
29 May 2026
1. Overview
The purpose of this procurement is to upgrade existing 56 CES legacy scanning equipment to enhance the installation's ability to maintain and preserve critical infrastructure. The procured equipment will enable the 56 CES to conduct high-fidelity scans of all facilities and generate highly accurate floor plan drawings.
This modernization effort directly supports multiple mission areas:
• Real Property: Space-use accountability and justification for accurate yearly sustainment funding.
• Force Protection: Development of accurate fire evacuation plans for the Fire Department and enhanced situational awareness/reduced response times for Security Forces.
• Maintenance & Sustainment: Support for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and structures shops during periodic maintenance.
• Engineering & Contracting: Accurate baseline data for building renovations, facility manager utilization, and Engineering Flight upgrades.
• Mishap Investigations: High-detail environmental capturing during potential aircraft mishap surveys and investigations.
Salient Charistics 2.0 Minimum Equipment Requirements (Salient Characteristics)
The vendor shall provide a Tripod-Mounted Laser Scanner (specifically the FARO Focus Core replacing the legacy FARO S150) that meets or exceeds the following technical specifications:
Category Required Capabilities / Specifications
Imaging & Capture
• Hybrid Reality Capture (Flash Technology) combining scans and panoramic photos.• Laser-illuminated HDR 13MPx.• High-resolution Panocam that attaches to the scanner for supplemental scan imagery.
Sensors & Calibration
• Dual-axis compensator.• Internal compass and height sensor.• On-site compensation functionality.
Environmental • Fully operational in temperatures ranging from -10° C to +40° C.
Workflow / Data • On-site registration and stream app functionality.
Hardware Protection
• Ruggedized hard case for safe transport and storage of the scanner.
Accessories • Hard case for Scanner
3.0 Software & Compatibility Requirements
To prevent duplication of cost and ensure continuity of operations, no new operational software will be purchased. The procured hardware must be 100% compatible with the Government's existing software.
• Existing Software: FARO Scene and FARO As-Built.
• Data Processing: Scans must be natively processed within these programs.
• Auto-Classification: The scanner's data/software integration must be capable of auto-classifying scan regions and removing "noise" points. This feature must automatically assign properties to point cloud regions based on their type (e.g., surface data, trees, buildings, poles, vegetation).
4.0 Warranty, Sustainment, and Trade-In
• Warranty: The vendor must provide a 5-year comprehensive warranty that includes parts and labor for all repairs, as well as an annual cleaning and system calibration for the duration of the 5-year period.
• Trade-In Credit: The vendor's price quote must include and reflect a trade-in credit for the following existing Government equipment (if available/applicable):
• FARO S150 Scanner
• FARO Free Style 2
• FARO Scan Plan
5.0 General Vendor Instructions
The vendor shall thoroughly review this Statement of Need to ensure full understanding of the required equipment functionality and capabilities. The vendor must advise the Contracting Officer of any potential problem areas prior to submitting a quote. No alterations, additions, or deletions to these requirements shall be made unless prior written approval is provided by the Contracting Officer. The vendor must obtain written approval from the Contracting Officer prior to conducting the transaction.
