Aerosonde UAS Operational Support, Transition, & MCM Sensor Integration (Modifications under BOA N0001921G0008)

The federal government buys surveying and mapping services primarily through Naval Air Systems Command, NOAA, and two Engineering District offices in St. Louis and Mobile. These buyers issued nearly 30,000 awards over 26 years. Most contracts go to unrestricted competition, though the Small Business Administration set aside about 6,600 awards. You will find buyers across defense, commerce, and Army Corps of Engineers operations.

The median award of $28,200 signals that most contracts are small. However, the total value of $7.11 billion spread across 768 vendors shows substantial opportunity for firms that can win repeatedly. Naval Air Systems Command alone awarded $1.99 billion, suggesting that specialized surveying work for naval facilities and aircraft operations drives significant spending. A firm should expect to compete against established players but can enter at modest contract values.

Watch for 456 contracts worth $364 million that end within the next 12 months. These represent immediate rebid opportunities. The 25 active notices indicate ongoing procurement activity. If your firm has surveying capabilities aligned with military installations, coastal mapping, or Army Corps projects, monitor these expiring contracts closely and track new solicitations from the top buyers.
