Aero-Graphics Inc.

Aero-Graphics Inc., operating as AGI Geospatial, is a South Salt Lake, Utah–based geospatial services company that acquires and processes aerial imagery, LiDAR data, and related mapping products for federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) across full-and-open and small-business set-aside vehicles. The vendor is a for-profit corporate entity with no SBA certifications; it competes open market across a broad customer set dominated by civilian land-management and infrastructure-mapping missions.

The company's core capability portfolio centers on aerial imagery collection and orthorectification, LiDAR data acquisition, photogrammetry, GIS support, and derivative mapping products. Representative recent work includes a $1.85 million BPA call from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Production and Conservation for Stewardship Land Imagery and easement services (May 2026), a $1.14 million USDA BPA call for aerial imagery collection across 9,157 sites in five western states in support of the 2026 National Resources Inventory season (April 2026), a $3.86 million delivery order from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) contract for statewide Montana geospatial data (August 2024), and a $3.27 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule BPA call for 2024 Stewardship Lands aerial imagery (March 2024). Work extends to defense and interior missions: a $1.6 million delivery order for U.S. Border Imagery LiDAR services under the Army Corps of Engineers (September 2025), a $4.18 million GIS support contract for Army installations in the eastern United States (June 2023), and a $477,818 imagery collection delivery order for the U.S. Marine Corps (September 2022).

Customer concentration is pronounced and tracked by two distinct patterns. By award count, the top five agencies account for 55% of recent awards, led by the Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Aerial Photography Field Office (30 awards, $37.9 million combined potential value), followed by the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants (20 awards), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (11 awards), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis (8 awards), and the Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Washington Office (7 awards). By potential value, the ranking inverts: the USGS accounts for $866.9 million across 20 awards, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis anchors $261 million across 8 awards, and the Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation carries $177.1 million across only 3 awards. This divergence reflects the vendor's position on two very large IDVs held by USGS and Army Corps of Engineers, from which numerous task orders flow at moderate individual sizes.

Aero-Graphics Inc. holds four named parent vehicles: a $249 million Photogrammetric Mapping IDIQ with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis (awarded February 2026, extending through February 2031); an $850 million Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) multiple-award contract with the U.S. Geological Survey (awarded August 2021, extending through January 2027), from which 17 task orders have been placed totaling $16.9 million in combined potential value; a $174.1 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for aerial imagery (awarded October 2021, extending through November 2026); and a $45 million multiple-award small-business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District for nationwide survey and mapping architect-engineering services (awarded January 2022, extending through January 2027). The vendor also maintains a GSA Multiple Award Schedule position and has issued 24 task orders against that vehicle totaling $215.9 million. Three subcontracts appear in recent activity: work as a named subcontractor to Dewberry Engineers Inc. on GPSC4-derived LiDAR data acquisition and survey-reporting tasks (2024–2025).

Activity over the past five years shows growth from 10 awards in 2022 to a peak of 15 awards in 2024, with 10 awards in 2025 and 6 awards year-to-date in 2026 (source snapshot dated mid-July 2026). Twenty-one awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $23.5 million and face recompete risk. The vendor has accumulated $1.48 billion in combined potential value across 137 total awards, with $83.1 million obligated to date (6% realization rate), reflecting the capital nature of geospatial contracts and the use of ceiling values on IDVs.

Service Contract Inventory reporting covers 20 records (16 prime, 4 sub) spanning FY2022–FY2024. SCI-reported invoicing totaled $9.6 million across the period: $5.6 million in FY2022 (8.3 FTEs), $4 million in FY2023 (6.6 FTEs), and zero in FY2024 (1.7 FTEs). The FY2024 collapse reflects SCI's exclusive focus on service contracts above the $150,000 threshold; the vendor's actual 2024 delivery-order volume remained strong but likely fell below or around the reporting floor. Across SCI-reported prime contracts, the vendor relies on internal delivery teams: subcontractor hours represent 6% of total hours on average, and only two subcontractors appear in the SCI records. On the GSA Schedule, Aero-Graphics Inc. carries 12 labor categories spanning stereocompilers, digital ortho technicians, imagery analysts, sensor operators, flight operations managers, aerotriangulation technicians, and LiDAR supervisors, with hourly rates from $68.41 to $127.05 (bachelor's degree, no security clearances). Government-paid rates on SCI-reported prime contracts ran a median of $341.20 per hour, with a 10th percentile of $202.84 and a 90th percentile of $596.01, indicating a technical labor mix spanning junior technicians and senior mapping specialists. The vendor operates as an internally staffed geospatial delivery shop rather than a subcontractor network; recent SCI FTE headcount suggests capacity of roughly 2–10 FTEs on billable federal service work in any given year.
