RFP-II 10200645 for land use mapping

The state of California, through the Department of Water Resources (DWR), is seeking proposals for a five-year contract to perform statewide land use surveys using remotely sensed multispectral and photographic imagery (satellite or aircraft) and imagery analysis software. The Contractor will be responsible for mapping crop types, quantifying crop acreages, delineating field perimeters, classifying land cover types, collecting ground truth data, determining permanent crop age, acquiring imagery, and providing training to DWR staff. The RFP includes a detailed cost proposal worksheet for the Contractor to provide hourly rates for personnel and lump sum costs for specific mapping tasks across the five-year period. Key dates include the RFP available on July 12, 2024, technical questions due by July 19, 2024, and proposals due by July 29, 2024.

The RFP waives the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program requirements but will apply a DVBE incentive calculation if the Contractor proposes DVBE participation. A small business preference calculation may also be applied. Interested firms must be located in California and have been established for at least four years. No information is provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFP does not specify a budget range or anticipated award value.
