High-accuracy maps post-fire vegetation

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants seeks high-resolution fractional-cover vegetation mapping data for the 2015 Soda Wildfire area, with quotations due September 16, 2026 at 1700 Pacific and delivery by September 30. This is a Total Small Business set-aside.

Place of performance is 230 Collins Rd #4, Boise, Idaho 83702. The deliverable is a single firm-fixed-price digital geospatial mapping product covering approximately 285,000 acres of the Soda Wildfire boundary plus a 100-meter buffer for the 2025 growing season, with 3-meter-resolution fractional-cover data for bare soil, exotic annual grasses, perennial herbs, shrubs, and sagebrush. The contractor must perform multi-date satellite imagery analysis, machine-learning modeling, and quantitative accuracy and error assessment. Metadata must comply with FGDC CSDGM and ISO 19115 standards.

Quotations must include firm-fixed-price, detailed technical approach, minimum three references demonstrating directly relevant experience in vegetation mapping using multispectral remote-sensing imagery and machine-learning modeling completed within the past five years, and identification of satellite imagery sources and software tools proposed. The NAICS code is 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services), PSC code is T002 (Photo/Map/Print/Publication–Cartography), and the small business size standard is $19.0 million. The government anticipates awarding a single firm-fixed-price purchase order to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter. Quotations must be submitted via email to contracting officer Joel Berberena at joel_berberena@ios.doi.gov, with payment processed through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).
