FY25 Wetland Mapping Project

The District of Columbia is seeking proposals for the FY25 Wetland Mapping Project, a comprehensive geospatial mapping initiative focused on documenting and analyzing wetland ecosystems within the jurisdiction. The procurement is designed to support environmental conservation and urban planning efforts by creating detailed geographic information system (GIS) datasets of wetland regions. Potential contractors must demonstrate advanced geospatial mapping capabilities, remote sensing expertise, and proficiency in wetland identification and classification methodologies. The project requires comprehensive field surveys, aerial and satellite imagery analysis, and the production of high-resolution digital maps that document wetland boundaries, typologies, and ecological characteristics. Proposals are due by August 25, 2025, with an initial posting date of August 5, 2025, providing potential bidders approximately three weeks to prepare and submit comprehensive technical and cost proposals. Contractors will be expected to deliver precise digital mapping products, comprehensive ecological assessments, and geospatial data layers that can be integrated into existing District environmental management systems.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available information, District of Columbia procurement practices typically encourage participation from local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The project's technical complexity suggests that prime contractors will likely need advanced environmental science, geospatial technology, and ecological mapping credentials. Although incumbent vendors are not specified, the project appears to require sophisticated geospatial technology platforms and potentially advanced remote sensing equipment for comprehensive wetland documentation. While a precise budget range is not provided, similar municipal wetland mapping projects typically range from $250,000 to $750,000, depending on the jurisdiction's geographic size and mapping complexity. Interested firms should have demonstrated experience in environmental GIS mapping, ecological assessment, and geospatial data collection methodologies to be competitive in this procurement opportunity.
