Whidden Surveying & Mapping, Inc.

Whidden Surveying & Mapping, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in West Palm Beach, Florida, delivers boundary surveying, topographic surveying, and cadastral surveying services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 92% of recent awards, with limited subcontractor exposure. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation operating under NAICS 541513 (Surveying and Mapping Services) and competes predominantly full-and-open; recent awards carry no set-aside designations except where the funding agency imposed a total small business set-aside.

Whidden's customer footprint concentrates on two federal agencies accounting for 92% of recent awards. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District leads by award count with 31 task orders valued at $4.9 million combined potential value, while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Southern Region (R8) anchors the dollar value at $5.4 million across six awards. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service holds three awards worth $225 thousand, and the Corps of Engineers Savannah District accounts for three additional awards. The two agency rankings diverge notably: Jacksonville places many small orders, while Forest Service R8 carries the highest per-award value.

Whidden holds a $5 million indefinite delivery contract with Forest Service R8 for National Forests in Florida land surveying services running through May 31, 2027, designated total small business. Under that vehicle, the company received an initial $5 thousand guaranteed-minimum delivery order in June 2022, with estimated annual requirements between $100 thousand and $300 thousand. The company's primary vehicle is the Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District Indefinite Delivery Contract W912EP12D0006, from which 32 task orders have generated $2.5 million in combined potential value. Recent representative prime work includes a $188.9 thousand boundary survey of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge for Fish and Wildlife Service (August 2023), a $143.8 thousand property boundary survey at St. Marks, Florida for Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (September 2026), and a $28.3 thousand boundary survey for a Georgia Department of Forestry project under Fish and Wildlife Service (May 2023, total small business set-aside).

Activity has remained relatively flat — two awards in 2022 and 2024, three awards in 2023 and 2025, one in 2026 — with $4.5 million obligated against $10.8 million combined potential value (42% obligation rate). Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with a combined potential value of $149 thousand, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, Whidden performs topographic surveying and surveying services on architect-and-engineering contracts for Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, including work on four child and family services buildings at Fort Liberty, North Carolina (multiple sub task orders awarded November 2025 and February 2025). The vendor's capability portfolio remains narrowly concentrated on surveying and mapping — 42 awards under NAICS 541513 (Surveying and Mapping Services) and 34 task orders under PSC A-E General (Landscaping, Interior Layout, and Designing) — with supporting work in engineering services and forestry support activities.
