Satellite shoreline processing sys.

The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants seeks quotations for development of a Satellite Shoreline Processing System, a total small business set-aside with quotations due September 30, 2026 (amended from September 22). The procurement is awarded under FAR 12 (Commercial Products and Services) with evaluation criteria emphasizing past performance and experience over price.

Place of performance is contractor facilities with optional travel. The 20-month effort runs October 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028, structured as six firm fixed-price contract line items: strategic plan, regional-scale satellite imagery download and shoreline detection software, validation on a 50+ km U.S. coastline reach, USGS code review and publication, and training including one virtual session. Deliverables are due at 6-month, 6-month, and 8-month intervals.

The contractor must design, develop, test, and deliver a CoastSeg-derived system capable of managing satellite imagery acquisition, processing, and storage on USGS Advanced Research Computing infrastructure. Required expertise includes scientific software development for geospatial data, satellite imagery processing, machine-learning workflows for remote sensing, shoreline mapping and coastal change analysis, and open-source software development, with a minimum of three years of relevant experience.
