Geodynamics LLC

Geodynamics LLC, a Newport, North Carolina-based surveying and geospatial services firm wholly owned by NV5 Global, Inc., operates as a prime contractor specializing in topographic, hydrographic, boundary, bathymetric, deformation, and geophysical surveys, alongside geographic information system mapping and analysis for federal water-resource and coastal engineering initiatives. The vendor competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations appear across its recent awards) and is classified as a small business entity under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and related surveying codes, with primary expertise in Civil Works, navigation, flood control, and infrastructure management across civilian federal agencies.

Geodynamics' customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Army Corps of Engineers work across regional districts, anchored by NOAA. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for eight awards but dominates by potential value at $277.4 million (approximately 91% of combined potential value across all 110 awards), driven by two major hydrographic survey delivery orders: an $8 million Albemarle Sound project funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (awarded March 2023, completed May 2024) and a $5.85 million southern Lake Michigan hydrographic survey (awarded June 2024, performance through May 2025). The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Wilmington leads by award count with 39 delivery orders totaling $10.3 million, followed by Engineering District Norfolk with 16 awards for $8.4 million. Representative Corps work includes a $470 thousand topographic survey delivery order (August 2025, completion October 2027) and a $458 thousand firm fixed price order (February 2026, completion March 2028), both issued under the vendor's broader $5 million indefinite delivery contract with the Wilmington District. Across 85% of awards, the top five customer clusters (three Army Corps regional offices, NOAA, and one additional Army office) span 93 awards. This concentration masks a sharp bifurcation: NOAA's eight awards represent 91% of potential value, while Corps awards number 85 but represent only 8% of combined potential value—NOAA is the anchor account while Corps work is high-volume, low-touch task-order delivery.

Geodynamics seats on five named indefinite delivery contracts managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, with 28, 21, 20, 13, and 7 task orders respectively across IDCs W912HN10D0013, W912PM16D0002, W912PM21D0001, W9123614D0022, and W9123619D0017. The $5 million Wilmington District single-award BPA and the $250 million National Ocean Service Hydrographic Surveying Services IDIQ from NOAA are the primary vehicles anchoring the delivery order activity. The vendor also executes task orders under regional Corps indefinite delivery contracts for Norfolk and Savannah districts covering North Carolina, Virginia, and adjacent coastal areas.

Activity has been intermittent in recent years. Awards per year ran 8 in 2022, declined to 5 in 2023, returned to 8 in 2024, then dropped to 3 in 2025 and 1 so far in 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $928 thousand. The vendor's 110 total awards reflect a long operational history (first award in source data dated October 2003) with cumulative combined potential value of $306.2 million; however, only $37.2 million (12%) has been obligated to date, indicating the typical gap between ceiling values on delivery orders and actual spend.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue (federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold) totaled $15.7 million across FY2022–FY2024: $3.7 million in FY2022 across 7.4 FTEs, $7 million in FY2023 across 15.4 FTEs, and $5 million in FY2024 across 7.1 FTEs. SCI is a partial view covering only federal services contracts and excludes goods, products, and non-federal revenue; these figures represent a narrow slice of the vendor's total enterprise activity. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $223.66/hr, with 10th percentile at $203.40/hr and 90th percentile at $588.95/hr. The vendor operates with zero subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable contracts (0% sub-hours share), indicating field-based delivery teams composed of direct Geodynamics employees rather than subcontracted labor. Geodynamics executes exclusively as a prime contractor—all 110 awards are prime contracts or IDVs; no sub-award activity appears in the source.

As a subsidiary of NV5 Global, Inc., Geodynamics leverages the parent company's federal contracting infrastructure and advanced geospatial capabilities. NV5 Global holds the $1.7 billion Geospatial Products and Services IV IDIQ with the U.S. Geological Survey, providing the subsidiary with access to nationwide resources and technology platforms while Geodynamics maintains its specialized regional focus on Carolinas and Virginia coastal and water-resource surveys for the Corps and NOAA.
