LiDAR Survey Solicitation

NOAA (Solicitation No. 1305M226Q0066) is issuing a total‑small‑business set‑aside, firm‑fixed‑price contract (NAICS 541370) to a qualified vendor that can provide a comprehensive geospatial inventory of vegetation that obstructs or could obstruct the operational airspace of a radar tower. The contractor must conduct a non‑destructive aerial survey within a 1,200‑ft radius of the tower using a small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) and must hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Required deliverables include high‑density LiDAR and imagery data, a geospatial model of canopy height, and a “Decision Matrix Dataset” that filters vegetation by vertical threat (current tower and a future 50‑ft tower) and horizontal ownership (state vs. private land). All labor, equipment, and technical expertise are to be provided by the contractor; the work will be performed at the radar site in Gray, Maine. Quotes must be submitted electronically by 11:00 a.m. CDT on 17 April 2026 to Taylor Wisneski (taylor.wisneski@noaa.gov) in three volumes (Technical Proposal, Past Performance, Price). Evaluation will be a trade‑off with technical factors and past performance weighted significantly higher than price. The contract is a DPAS‑rated order, requires electronic invoicing through the Treasury’s IPP system, and includes an option (CLIN 0002) that is exercisable only upon acceptance of the primary effort (CLIN 0001). The solicitation also mandates a WOSB qualification and compliance with all FAR clauses referenced (e.g., FAR 52.212‑4, 52.232‑25/26/27).
