Fugro USA Land, Inc.

Fugro USA Land, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit geospatial services firm headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates as a prime contractor delivering aerial imagery collection, LiDAR surveying, geophysical data acquisition, hyperspectral analysis, photogrammetric mapping, and geotechnical field exploration services to federal agencies across full-and-open competitions with no set-aside designations. The company dominates the $850 million Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) single-award IDIQ with the U.S. Geological Survey, where it holds the prime position and executes the vast majority of task orders across that vehicle.

Fugro's customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian earth-science and infrastructure missions. The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 51 awards (28% of total awards) worth $925.2 million combined potential value and drives the funding concentration—accounting for 97% of the top-five agencies' potential-value share. The Army Corps of Engineers in its St. Louis Engineering and Support Center district is the second-largest customer by dollars, with 16 awards valued at $260.7 million, followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (12 awards, $170.3 million), reflecting Fugro's recurring role in coastal mapping, shoreline assessment, and hydrographic surveying under the Shoreline Mapping Support Services IDIQ. The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration and regional Army Corps districts round out the active set.

Fugro's vehicle footprint spans specialized IDIQs: the $850 million GPSC4 with USGS (50 task orders, $75.2 million), a $249 million photogrammetric mapping IDIQ with Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center at St. Louis (24 task orders, $19.4 million), a $49 million coastal geospatial services multiple-award contract with NOAA (awarded August 2026), and a $5 million blanket purchase agreement for engineering and construction material testing with the Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District (21 task orders). Fugro competes and awards consistently across these vehicles without set-aside restrictions, capturing both single-award dominance on GPSC4 and shares of multiple-award pools on the photogrammetric and coastal geospatial vehicles.

Activity has grown modestly year over year, from 12 awards in 2022 to 23 in 2024, settling at 18 in 2026 through mid-September. Thirty awards (combined potential value $35.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and present recompete exposure. Recent representative prime work includes multiple $1–$3 million geospatial delivery orders under GPSC4 for magnetic and radiometric data acquisition in Arizona, Tennessee, Wyoming, and South Dakota (September 2026); a $2.4 million geotechnical field exploration delivery order with Army for Upper Galveston Bay sites (May 2026); and a $1.95 million topobathymetric and sonar data collection order under the photogrammetric mapping IDIQ in Illinois (September 2024).

SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing totaled $47.6 million across FY2022–FY2025, with an upward trajectory through FY2024 ($18.4 million) and slight decline in FY2025 ($12.5 million). Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor deployed roughly 14.7 FTEs in FY2024 and 13.5 FTEs in FY2025, with median government-paid hourly rates around $339/hr and senior labor pricing through $5,377/hr. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, Fugro subcontracted an average 24% of total contractor hours across 45 named subcontractors, indicating a mixed delivery model where the vendor builds core teams in-house but relies on subs for specialized geophysical analysis, data processing, and testing work—notably Team Trident, LLC for data processing and Terrasurv, Inc. for ground control surveying on Army Corps topobathymetric missions.

Fugro's subcontract footprint is minimal (8 awards, 4% of total) and concentrated in design and remediation work under primes including Ch2M Hill (Jones Road groundwater plume remediation sub-awards), Jacobs joint ventures (aircraft parking apron and hydrographic survey engineering), and Stantec Consulting (FEMA-USACE seismic study support). The company functions primarily as a prime executing its own delivery teams supplemented by lower-tier subs rather than as a feeder to larger integrators. Across NAICS and PSC, Fugro's portfolio skews toward Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services (52 awards) and Surveying and Mapping Services (39 awards), with secondary exposure to Testing Laboratories (28 awards) and Engineering Services (27 awards), reflecting its positioning as a specialized data-collection and geospatial-analysis provider rather as a general systems or IT integrator.
