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 to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 97% of recent awards. The company competes full-and-open; no set-asides recur in the prime footprint, though Woolpert holds a subsidiary, Bluesky Geospatial LTD, certified as a small disadvantaged business.

Woolpert's customer concentration anchors with the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (194 awards, $1.89 billion combined potential value), followed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (61 awards, $998 million). These two agencies account for approximately 75% of recent combined potential value across the portfolio. The Army Corps of Engineers, split across the Mobile District (85 awards, $149.7 million) and the wider organization (127 awards, $128.5 million), provides substantial secondary volume. The Department of the Air Force, the Department of Defense Education Activity, and the Department of Defense round out the top five federal customers. Across 84 distinct customer agencies, Woolpert maintains breadth—the top five account for 45% of award count but drive 75% of dollars, indicating that USGS and NOAA deliver high-value single awards while the Air Force and Army generate numerous smaller task orders.

Woolpert operates as the prime holder on the $850 million Geospatial Products and Services IV (GPSC4) single-award indefinite delivery contract with USGS through January 2027, the $250 million NOAA Shoreline Mapping Services contract through May 2030, and the $450 million NOAA Hydrographic Surveying Services contract through December 2029—three vehicles alone representing $1.55 billion in ceiling value. The company also holds the $220 million Geospatial Support and Services 2.0 (GS&S 2.0) multiple-award contract with Air Education and Training Command, a $999,999,999,999 placeholder-ceiling OASIS+ Unrestricted Multiple Agency Contract with GSA through October 2030, an $80 million Department of Defense Education Activity architect-engineer services IDIQ through March 2030, a $50 million USACE Europe District geospatial mapping services IDIQ through June 2029, and multiple smaller architect-engineer vehicles. GPSC4, GS&S 2.0, and the NOAA contracts dominate task order issuance volume (75, 54, and 61 task orders respectively in the source window) and carry the largest individual delivery orders ($9.9 million, $20.2 million, and $8.3 million cited in recent awards). The GSA Federal Supply Schedule adds a $1 million ceiling with six special item numbers spanning earth observation solutions, IT professional services, engineering, energy consulting, environmental consulting, and GIS services, rated $85–$264 per hour across 57 labor categories with education from high school to bachelor's degree and no clearance requirement.

Recent capability work spans coastal mapping, bathymetric surveying, LiDAR intelligence, and infrastructure design. Representative awards include an $8.3 million NOAA delivery order for NOS/NGS shoreline mapping in Florida (June 2026, completion December 2028); a $7.7 million USGS delivery order for geospatial services in Arkansas (May 2024, completion July 2027); a $7.3 million MAS delivery order from Engineering and Support Activity-Europe for geospatial work in Germany (September 2025, completion June 2030); a $9.63 million Defense Intelligence Agency order for GEOINT LiDAR collection across Europe, Africa, and Asia (October 2025, completion October 2026); and a $4.5 million order for LiDAR and bathymetric extraction in the South Pacific (October 2025, completion October 2026). The company also delivers architect-engineer services to Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base through a $4.9 million indefinite delivery contract (2023–2028), including facility design, infrastructure studies, and mechanical repairs. Woolpert competes full-and-open across all these vehicles; no set-aside preference is evident.

Service Contract Inventory data captures a partial federal services picture: SCI-reported invoicing totaled $68.7 million across FY2022–FY2024, with $12.9 million in FY2022, $30.2 million in FY2023, and $25.6 million in FY2024, spanning 23.4 to 51.6 FTEs per fiscal year (83 prime SCI records, 17 named subcontractor records over that window). Median government-paid rates on prime contracts run $278.46 per hour, with 10th-percentile rates near zero (likely artifact of inclusive pricing or project structures) and 90th-percentile rates at $3,866.95 per hour, reflecting senior or specialized labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for roughly 8% of total hours, with 11 named sub-partners appearing in the data.

Woolpert primarily builds its own delivery teams. Prime awards comprise 97% of the portfolio; the subcontractor footprint is thin (3% of awards). When subcontracting occurs, Woolpert serves secondary roles under Solutions71, LLC (for technical staffing on the Air Force Geospatial Information Management System and Geospatial Engineering Operations Mapping and Analysis Portal), Applied Research Associates (for vertiport design research and autonomous vehicle safety assessment), HDR Engineering (for geotechnical investigation and road design), Black & Veatch (for architectural design and master planning), Mantech Advanced Systems International (for software development and configuration management), and Serco, Manson Construction, The Dutra Group, and others on specific operations-and-maintenance or survey campaigns. Woolpert's subcontractor engagement is engagement as a supplier to larger primes on specific mission-critical tasks rather than a characteristic teaming posture.

Corporate structure includes Woolpert Holdings, Inc. as parent, with eleven named subsidiaries including Geomatics Data Solutions (a Woolpert Company), Bluesky Geospatial LTD (self-certified SDB), Etrac, A Woolpert Company (DOT-certified DBE), Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, Jviation, Optimal GEO, Waller, Todd & Sadler, and Cooperative Strategies. The subsidiary structure signals depth in specialized geospatial, civil engineering, aviation, and disadvantaged-business postures; Etrac's DBE certification and Bluesky's SDB status enable set-aside opportunities where Woolpert parent cannot pursue them.

Activity shows year-over-year growth 2022–2025 (33 → 48 awards) before tapering in 2026 (24 awards through mid-June; annualizing would yield ~42–50 for the calendar year). Forty-six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $92.8 million, representing a moderate recompete exposure. Total portfolio volume spans 1,524 awards with combined potential value of $4.34 billion and obligated dollars of $711 million (16% draw to date). The vendor commands substantial architectural and engineering services breadth—top NAICS include surveying and mapping (275 awards), architectural services (242), engineering services (227), and geophysical surveying (158)—anchored by the geospatial intelligence mission but extending into facility design, infrastructure planning, and environmental assessment across civilian and defense sectors.
