Leica Cyclone 3DR and Cyclone Register Plus (BLK edition)

The Federal Highway Administration Western Federal Lands Highway Division seeks Leica Cyclone 3DR and Cyclone Register Plus (BLK edition) software, with quotations due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM PT. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricted to small business concerns. The set-aside is further constrained: Amendment A001 (posted August 19) designates this as a 100 percent women-owned small business (WOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers), overriding the earlier NAICS 334118 designation.

Place of performance is Vancouver, Washington. The procurement is brand-name restricted and requires software compatible with Leica BLK handheld LiDAR units to produce colorized point cloud data for design staff. The justification document confirms that market research found the Leica BLK2GO system to be the only equipment meeting all minimum required capabilities—ease of use by non-survey staff, handheld and mobile design, LiDAR technology, colorized point cloud output, and portability for standard airline overhead compartments. Introducing alternative brands would require data conversion to generic formats, resulting in loss of point description information and additional time and quality assurance burden.

The contract includes four line items: two units of Leica Cyclone 3DR Pro with one-year permanent license; one unit of Leica Cyclone Register 360 Plus BLK edition permanent subscription; two units of Cyclone 3DR one-year Continuous Care Plan subscription; and one unit of Cyclone Register 360 Plus BLK Edition one-year CCP. Period of performance runs September 3, 2026 through September 2, 2027. Estimated contract value is $37,155.00. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination within one day after award.

Award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. Evaluation criteria are Price, Technical Compliance with Solicitation Requirements, and Relevant Past Performance (within the past three years). Offerors with no relevant past performance for Leica software will receive a neutral rating rather than unfavorable. One to two completed Past Performance Questionnaires are required, due by August 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM PT. Amendment A001 addresses vendor questions regarding product availability and licensing models, clarifying that Cyclone 3DR is now offered only as one-year subscriptions, no longer as permanent versions.
