Polaris Geospatial Services, LLC

Polaris Geospatial Services, LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Westerville, Ohio, provides specialized software development and maintenance services to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on small-business-set-aside purchase orders.

The vendor's entire federal footprint comprises three awards from NOAA across the past three years, with a combined potential value of $434 thousand and 100% obligation. All work is performed in Westerville, Ohio. The most recent award, issued July 6, 2026, is a $281,349 total small business set-aside purchase order for code optimization and updating of M-PAGES and related land surveying software maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. Work through July 5, 2027 includes three mandatory tasks: integrating the LASER CoreLsa library into M-PAGES to benchmark processing of 100 GPS stations in under one hour, consolidating differential leveling, total station, and EDM observation tools into a single Python application, and porting existing Perl 5 and Matlab antenna calibration source codes to Python with Windows GUI capability. A second award, a $90,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from September 2024, covers programming work to improve code efficiency of the M-PAGES Orbit Determination Component, including modification and extension of existing C++ classes, development of a new C++ program to adjust satellite initial conditions, and demonstration of code meeting specified accuracy tolerances in a Linux High Performance Computing environment. A third award, a $63,000 sole-source purchase order from September 2023, provided maintenance of NOAA's Laser Atmospheric Sounder (LASAR) software supporting atmospheric monitoring and laser-based atmospheric measurements from space.

Activity is episodic — one award annually across 2023, 2024, and 2026 — with $281 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Polaris operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no recorded subcontractor engagement in the source data. Customer concentration is absolute: NOAA accounts for 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on custom software development, code optimization, and maintenance of specialized geodetic and atmospheric monitoring systems for federal civilian science missions. Service Contract Inventory data for FY2022 shows minimal SCI-reportable activity, with 0.2 FTEs on one sub-contracting record in that fiscal year; SCI coverage does not extend to the more recent purchase orders in the source, which fall below or outside the reporting threshold.

Polaris Geospatial Services is currently focused on least-squares adjustment software development. Other potential products and services include custom software development, geodetic engineering solutions, and research work involving the following:
