NV5 Geospatial, Inc.

NV5 Geospatial, Inc., a subsidiary of NV5 Global, Inc., operates as a prime contractor delivering aerial imagery acquisition, LiDAR data collection, bathymetric surveying, digital mapping, and geospatial analysis services to federal civilian and defense agencies on an unrestricted, full-and-open competitive basis. The company competes across the geospatial market without reliance on set-aside categories; its 1,190 prime awards represent 99% of its federal footprint, with only 6 sub-awards in the source data.

NV5 Geospatial dominates the federal geospatial landscape through massive IDIQ vehicles anchoring its business. The company holds a $250 million Shoreline Mapping Services single-award IDIQ with NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (awarded May 2025, through May 2030), a $450 million Hydrographic Surveying Services multiple-award IDIQ with NOAA (through December 2029), a $222 million Geospatial Support and Services 2.0 multiple-award IDIQ with Air Education and Training Command (through May 2029), a $249 million Photogrammetric Mapping multiple-award IDIQ with ENDIST St. Louis (through February 2031), a $174.1 million aerial imagery BPA with USDA's Farm Production and Conservation (through November 2026), a $50 million Army European Command geospatial mapping services IDIQ (through June 2029), and a $39 million Architect-Engineer services contract with Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District (through August 2029). The $1.7 billion Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) IDIQ with USGS, though held by Quantum Spatial Inc. (a sibling subsidiary), represents substantial ordered activity under its parent company structure.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The Department of Interior's U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 278 awards worth $2.79 billion in combined potential value—anchored by GPSC4 delivery orders. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration follows with 119 awards worth $1.19 billion, driven by the $250 million shoreline mapping IDIQ and the $450 million hydrographic surveying IDIQ. The Army Corps of Engineers and its district commands contribute $73.2–$312.2 million across 140–87 awards. These five customer aggregates represent 63% of all awards and 83% of combined potential value. Task order velocity under top vehicles shows 121 awards under GPSC v3, 98 under GPSC4, and 91 under the original GPSC—a sign of mature, heavily exercised IDIQs. Eighty-nine awards face completion in the next twenty-four months, representing $122.3 million in recompete exposure.

The company competes across NAICS 541360 (Surveying and Mapping except Geophysical, 398 awards), 541370 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping, 244 awards), and 541330 (Engineering Services, 188 awards), with PSC concentration in Architect-and-Engineering and aerial photographic services. The portfolio spans CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and overseas installations (Europe, Asia-Pacific); work is performed at the company's headquarters facility in St. Petersburg, Florida, or at project-specific locations as required.

Service Contract Inventory data shows NV5 Geospatial self-performs the vast majority of work. Prime SCI invoicing reached $124.7 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($36.1M in FY2022, $37.5M in FY2023, $51.1M in FY2024), with government-paid hourly rates spanning $37.83 to $4,524.59 per hour and a median of $282.82/hr. Workforce scaled from 61.9 FTEs in FY2022 to 37.5 FTEs in FY2024, reflecting project variability. Across prime SCI contracts, subcontractors account for only 4% of total contractor hours on average; NV5 Geospatial names 14 subcontractors total in the SCI dataset, indicating a predominantly self-delivery model. In the award listing, NV5 Geospatial subcontracts to Serco Inc. (Physical Security System–Enterprise Architecture services) and to Jacobs / Black & Veatch joint ventures (field investigations, topographic surveying, and hydrogeological assessment for Guam infrastructure projects), with the latter suggesting occasional teaming for large civil works initiatives.

NV5 Geospatial's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 37 categories from Documentation Specialist ($58.68/hr) through Domain Expert Senior ($272.22/hr), all at bachelor's degree level with no security clearance requirements. Representative mid-tier categories include Technician II–III ($96.51–$121.86/hr), Project Manager ($154.57/hr), and Solutions Engineer Senior ($227.08/hr). The Schedule provides a secondary channel for task orders, visible in awards under USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

Activity has remained steady: 45–58 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with 21 awards in 2026 to date (source cutoff July 2026). The company's award footprint reflects 68 distinct customer agencies and cumulative potential value of $5.42 billion across all 1,196 awards, with $657.2 million obligated (12% execution). Corporate structure positions NV5 Geospatial as a core operating subsidiary alongside Aero-Metric Inc. and Quantum Spatial Inc., all under parent NV5 Global, Inc. The subsidiary naming convention (Quantum Spatial as the branded operator of GPSC4, NV5 Geospatial as the shoreline mapping and hydrographic prime) suggests functional specialization by contract vehicle, though both report to and operate under the same corporate parent.
