Doc769953 - FY25 Wetland Mapping Project

The District of Columbia has initiated a Fiscal Year 2025 Wetland Mapping Project procurement, seeking professional geospatial and environmental mapping services to comprehensively document and analyze wetland ecosystems within the district's boundaries. The project aims to generate high-resolution digital mapping and geospatial data that will support environmental conservation, urban planning, and natural resource management efforts. Potential contractors must demonstrate advanced geospatial technology capabilities, including remote sensing expertise, GIS mapping skills, and proficiency in wetland ecological assessment methodologies. The solicitation requires detailed deliverables including digital map layers, comprehensive wetland classification reports, spatial data analysis, and geospatial database development. Critical submission requirements mandate that all proposal materials be electronically submitted by August 25, 2025, with a recommended pre-submission period for potential vendors to review technical specifications and clarify any procedural questions. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize technical approach, vendor qualifications, demonstrated experience in similar environmental mapping projects, and cost-effectiveness of proposed methodologies.

The procurement appears to be open to various qualified environmental consulting firms, geospatial technology providers, and ecological assessment organizations, with potential preferences for local District of Columbia-based vendors or disadvantaged business enterprises. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, government contracting guidelines typically encourage participation from small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, and local economic stakeholders. The project's scope suggests a potential award value ranging between $150,000 and $500,000, depending on the comprehensive nature of mapping requirements and technological sophistication of proposed solutions. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate compatibility with existing District of Columbia geospatial infrastructure and potentially integrate their mapping outputs with current environmental management systems. The project represents a strategic investment in understanding and documenting the district's wetland ecosystems, with potential long-term implications for urban environmental planning and conservation efforts.
