R. Lopez De Azua & Assoc, Inc.

R. Lopez De Azua & Assoc, Inc., doing business as RLDA Surveying and Mapping, is a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business providing topographic, boundary, hydrographic, and parcel mapping services to federal agencies, operating as a prime contractor across 230 awards with combined potential value of $50.3 million. The vendor is a Hispanic American-owned Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and holds a primary NAICS classification in Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on its core IDIQ vehicle and full-and-open on individual task orders.

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers dominates RLDA's customer footprint, with 141 awards from the primary Corps office and 61 awards from the Engineering District Jacksonville generating $35.6 million in combined potential value and representing 94% of recent award count. The top five agencies by potential value — the Jacksonville District, the primary Corps, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and GSA — account for 99% of combined potential value. The vendor's activity trajectory shows contraction: eight awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, four in 2024, and three in 2025, with only two awards recorded in 2026 as of the snapshot date. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $654 thousand reach completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure.

RLDA's primary revenue engine is a $30 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District, awarded January 5, 2023, with a Total Small Business set-aside and running through January 4, 2028. Six delivery orders have been issued under this vehicle to date, totaling approximately $756 thousand, with individual task order values ranging from $10 thousand to $304.5 thousand. Representative recent delivery orders under this IDIQ include a $304.5 thousand Rio Nigua Topographic Survey (September 1, 2025, completion August 31, 2026), a $149.9 thousand architectural and engineering services order for Survey 25-250 (September 10, 2025, completion September 30, 2026), a $120 thousand Bechara Parcel Mapping Survey (June 1, 2024, completion September 30, 2026), and a $79.8 thousand Rio de la Plata land acquisition parcel and utility mapping support delivery order (August 21, 2025, completion September 30, 2026). The IDIQ contract encompasses topographic surveys, boundary surveys, hydrographic surveys, real property number verification, property and structures documentation, subsurface utility engineering, and contract surveying services across Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean region. The vendor also places work through the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule, awarded January 21, 2026, with a $1 million ceiling running through January 20, 2031. The GSA schedule carries five labor categories ranging from Survey Helper at $34.04 per hour to two-person survey crews and professional licensed surveyors at $107.14 per hour, spanning education requirements from high school through bachelor's degree with experience thresholds up to ten years and no security-cleared positions offered. Secondary vehicle work includes a $243.2 thousand delivery order from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 for the Phase 3 Section 1 Puerto Rico Boundary Re-Establishment Project IDIQ (awarded February 3, 2023, completion June 15, 2024), and a $320 thousand El Yunque National Forest Re-Establishment Project Phase 2 Section 3 delivery order under a $3 million Forest Service landline surveying IDIQ (awarded August 1, 2021, completion June 28, 2024).

All 230 awards in the footprint are prime awards; RLDA does not sub to other contractors. Work is performed exclusively in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean region, with headquarters administrative control in San Juan. The vendor has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2002 and operates without subcontract exposure, executing surveying and mapping work directly for federal civil works, infrastructure assessment, land management, and boundary re-establishment projects.
