FY26-DDOT-OD-LiDAR pilot

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation is forecasting a pilot project for FY26 focused on LiDAR technology to support transportation planning and infrastructure analysis. The solicitation is listed as a forecast with no formal solicitation number, indicating it is a preliminary notice for potential vendors to prepare for an upcoming opportunity. The project is intended to evaluate the application of LiDAR systems for gathering high-precision spatial data related to roadways, traffic patterns, or urban infrastructure, though specific technical requirements and deliverables are not yet defined. The agency is seeking input from the private sector to inform the scope, timeline, and evaluation criteria for this initiative. No set-aside provisions, NAICS codes, or point of contact details are currently provided, suggesting the contract is still in the early planning phase. The place of performance is expected to be within the District of Columbia, with no specified city or zip code, and all communications will likely be handled through the official D.C. procurement portal. Interested parties should monitor the official forecast link for future updates as the request for proposals or other formal documentation is expected to be released in the coming months.
