About the company

The Sanborn Map Company, Inc. Corporate Office Division, doing business as Sanborn Map Co Inc., is a for-profit geospatial solutions provider headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that competes as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal contracts for aerial imagery acquisition, photogrammetric mapping, LiDAR data collection, and geographic information system services across 28 federal agencies. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint in the federal space, though it engages qualified geospatial subcontractors including Arrowhawk Imaging LLC, Keystone Aerial Surveys Inc., Kinetics Geospatial LLC, and Veridaas Corporation to execute complex field operations.

Sanborn's customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian natural-resources and land-management agencies. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 94% of combined contract worth, led by the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants (39 awards, $1.64 billion combined potential value), followed distantly by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service (3 awards, $181.6 million), the Department of Agriculture's Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation (3 awards, $175.3 million), the Department of Agriculture's National Resources Conservation Service Central Region (1 award, $24.5 million), and the Bureau of Land Management National Office (33 awards, $22.2 million). By award count, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region dominates with 140 awards ($20.5 million combined potential), though this volume masks substantially lower per-award values compared to USGS. Sanborn serves 28 distinct customer agencies overall, with no defense or intelligence community presence.

Sanborn anchors its federal business on two master indefinite-delivery vehicles: the Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) contract with USGS ($850 million multiple-award IDIQ established August 2021) and a $174.1 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Agriculture's Farm Production and Conservation division for aerial imagery acquisition through November 2026. Under GPSC4, Sanborn has placed 24 delivery orders totaling $27.4 million in combined potential value; representative recent GPSC4 task orders include a $1.78 million delivery order for western-superior magnetic and radiometric data (May 21, 2026, ultimate completion March 31, 2029), a $1.5 million delivery order for Alaska Nome work (September 10, 2025, ultimate completion March 1, 2028), and a $2.52 million Virginia Southwest delivery order (April 24, 2025, ultimate completion June 30, 2028). Sanborn also holds 176 task orders on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule ($252.4 million combined potential value) and 135 task orders on the Professional Services Schedule ($33.6 million combined potential value), supporting regional Forest Service work including GIS services, remote sensing, and forest-health monitoring. Recent BPA calls under the USDA vehicle include a $1.41 million 2024 National Aerial Imagery Program (NAIP) call (April 24, 2024), a $1.39 million 2024 National Resource Inventory (NRI) aerial imagery call (March 11, 2024), and a $1.54 million 2024 Stewardship Lands (SL) aerial imagery call (March 11, 2024). Outside GPSC4, Sanborn also holds a $106,000 Federal Aviation Administration Google Maps Platform renewal (awarded September 16, 2026).

Activity has declined modestly over the past five years—10 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 10 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 year-to-date—though this reflects award-count volatility rather than revenue collapse; the 2023 low reflects the structure of large multi-year task orders under master vehicles. Fourteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $13.3 million and face recompete risk. The vendor's primary NAICS categories are Environmental Consulting Services (166 awards), Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services (65 awards), and Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services (49 awards); PSC coding favors IT and Telecom—Digitizing (136 awards) and Architect and Engineering services (53 and 46 awards respectively).

On the Service Contract Inventory, Sanborn reported $7.9 million in invoiced revenue across 23.4 FTEs in FY2022, with zero SCI-reportable invoicing for FY2023–FY2024 and only 2.6 FTEs appearing in FY2025. SCI captures service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes goods, products, and classified work; the FY2022 spike reflects labor-intensive GIS and remote-sensing support work that has since moved to task-order delivery vehicles carrying imagery and data products rather than billable hours. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $64.42 per hour to a median of $120.90 per hour and a 90th percentile of $2,076.12 per hour, reflecting mix of GIS analyst, cartographer, and specialized scientist labor. The vendor carries 69 active GSA Schedule labor categories spanning $50.13 per hour (GIS Analyst I with a bachelor's degree and one year's experience) through $349.55 per hour (Principal Scientist with a PhD and ten years' experience), with no security-clearance requirements across the portfolio. Sanborn operates no named subsidiaries in its active federal portfolio; the corporate structure includes Edcon-Prj Inc., Sanborn Solutions LLC, and Sanborn-Tetratech JV LLC as held entities.
