Mapping services

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is requesting proposals for aerial photography, surveying, and mapping services covering designated counties, with proposals due July 23, 2026. The scope encompasses high-resolution aerial imagery collection, orthoimagery, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and related geospatial data products to support state and local planning, infrastructure management, and emergency response.

Respondents must demonstrate experience in large-scale aerial survey projects and possess appropriate licensing and equipment capabilities. Technical requirements include specified image resolution and accuracy standards aligned with state geospatial standards. Deliverables must comply with federal and state mapping standards and include detailed cost proposals broken down by service component: mobilization, data acquisition, processing, and delivery costs.

The evaluation process emphasizes technical capability and cost efficiency. Respondents must provide project timelines and methodologies for completion of deliverables, along with quality assurance and data validation procedures. Performance bonds or insurance requirements apply. The RFP establishes specific pricing structures and evaluation criteria based on cost competitiveness, technical qualifications, and past performance.
