Woolpert, Inc.

Woolpert, Inc., a for-profit architecture, engineering, and geospatial services firm headquartered in Beavercreek, Ohio, delivers aerial imagery acquisition, LiDAR data collection and processing, topographic mapping, hydrographic surveying, coastal shoreline mapping, and GIS support services as a prime contractor across a portfolio dominated by full-and-open federal competition with no set-aside certifications. The company competes predominantly as prime (97% of recent awards) across civilian and defense agencies, with 1,497 prime awards and 50 sub-awards totaling $4.45 billion in combined potential value. Woolpert Holdings, Inc. serves as the parent entity; subsidiaries include Bluesky Geospatial LTD (self-certified small disadvantaged business), Etrac, A Woolpert Company (DOT certified disadvantaged business enterprise), Jviation, A Woolpert Company, Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, Geomatics Data Solutions, and Optimal Geo.

Customer concentration is extreme and anchored to two civilian geospatial agencies. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 45% and 80% of awards respectively. The U.S. Geological Survey's Office of Acquisitions and Grants leads across both metrics with 200 awards and $1.9 billion in combined potential value, reflecting Woolpert's role as the single-award prime on the $850 million Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) contract through 2029—the government's primary geospatial procurement vehicle. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration follows with 66 awards and $1.05 billion, anchored by a $250 million NOAA Shoreline Mapping Services contract (single-award, through May 2030) and a $450 million NOAA Hydrographic Surveying Services contract (multiple-award, through December 2029). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers contributes 128 awards and $151.1 million from the parent account, with the Mobile District adding 88 awards and $167.5 million for Joint Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) support and related geospatial services. Recent delivery orders exemplify this concentration: $8.3 million for NOS/NGS shoreline mapping in Florida (awarded June 2026, completing December 2028); $2.79 million for Hurricane Helene supplemental riverine support in Virginia (awarded December 2025, completing March 2027); $13.7 million for JALBTCX task order work (awarded June 2026, completing June 2027); $20.2 million for Air Force Installation and Materiel Management Command Capital Planning and Management program support (awarded September 2024, completing March 2030).

Woolpert holds at least fifteen major indefinite delivery vehicles spanning defense, civilian, and geospatial operations. The OASIS+ Unrestricted Multiple Agency Contract (awarded October 2025, no dollar ceiling specified, through October 2030) serves as a government-wide vehicle for integrated architecture, engineering, and geospatial services across federal agencies. The $850 million GPSC4 contract with USGS (single-award, through 2029) and the $250 million NOAA Shoreline Mapping Services contract (single-award, through May 2030) anchor civilian geospatial procurement. Additional major vehicles include a $450 million NOAA Hydrographic Surveying Services contract (multiple-award, through December 2029); a $249 million Photogrammetric Mapping IDIQ with the Defense Intelligence Agency (multiple-award, through February 2031); a $220 million Geospatial Support and Services 2.0 contract with Air Education and Training Command (multiple-award, through May 2029); an $80 million Department of Defense Education Activity Architect Engineer Services IDIQ (multiple-award, through March 2030); a $49.9 million JALBTCX operations and maintenance contract with USACE Mobile (single-award, through March 2028); a $50 million U.S. Army European Command geospatial mapping services contract (multiple-award, through June 2029); a $4.9 million Air Force Materiel Command architect-engineer services contract for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (single-award, through August 2028); and a $485,000 Smart Runway BPA with ERDC (single-award, through May 2029). A GSA Federal Supply Schedule (multiple-award, through December 2029) offers 57 labor categories ranging from $85.10 to $263.83 per hour across environmental technician, photogrammetric, GIS, environmental science, and program management roles—no security-cleared positions.

Activity has remained flat year over year, with 48 awards in 2024 and 48 in 2025, suggesting sustained but stable utilization across the customer base. Fifty-two awards carrying combined potential value of $105.7 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure and opportunity for competitors to displace Woolpert on these vehicles.

SCI-reported invoicing of federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $90.8 million across FY2022–FY2025: $12.9 million (FY2022, 23.4 FTEs); $30.2 million (FY2023, 47.4 FTEs); $25.6 million (FY2024, 51.6 FTEs); and $22.1 million (FY2025, 73.7 FTEs). The trajectory shows declining invoiced revenue in FY2024 and FY2025 despite growing FTE deployment, suggesting lower-cost or training-intensive work or partial-year data capture. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $278.46 per hour, with the 90th percentile reaching $3,866.95 per hour, indicating a bifurcated workforce spanning field technicians and specialized geospatial analysts. Woolpert self-performed approximately 95% of hours on prime contracts; subcontractors contributed an average 5% share. Eleven named subcontractors appear in SCI records, including Solutions71, Applied Research Associates, HDR Engineering, Peraton, and others, primarily supporting geospatial staffing and specialized analysis.

Woolpert's subcontract footprint reflects its role as a specialized geospatial and engineering prime feeding larger systems integrators and construction firms. Recent notable sub-awards include work with Peraton on Defense Travel System sustainment and recompete support; HDR Engineering on New Mexico bridge geotechnical investigation and California road design; ManTech Advanced Systems International on software development and configuration management; Solutions71 on geospatial mapping portal technical staffing; The Dutra Group on dredging surveys and data quality management; and Applied Research Associates on vertiport and autonomous vehicle airport research. Across these relationships, Woolpert delivers specialized capabilities in hydrographic survey, geospatial data collection, geotechnical investigation support, and technical labor.

Woolpert competes full-and-open with no recurrent set-aside designations on the prime side, though the company operates Bluesky Geospatial LTD as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Etrac as a DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise, enabling participation in set-aside vehicles when advantageous. The company's federal footprint spans 84 distinct customer agencies, with concentration in Interior, Commerce (NOAA), and Defense entities. The portfolio is characterized by high-value single-award and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts serving geospatial and engineering missions across coastal mapping, hydrographic surveying, infrastructure design, and geospatial intelligence operations. Woolpert's competitive position reflects established relationships with mission-critical federal customers, a diversified subsidiary structure enabling flexible teaming and set-aside positioning, and deep technical expertise in specialized domains—particularly LiDAR, bathymetric survey, and coastal geospatial services—that face limited competition.
