Geographic Information Systems (GIS) & Spatial Data Mapping

The contract involves the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial data mapping to support recreation planning within the Sierra Nevada Conservancy's jurisdiction in California. The work will focus on creating detailed GIS maps and spatial databases that capture critical elements such as visitor use patterns, trail networks, and environmental constraints, ensuring that planning efforts are data-driven and environmentally sound. The deliverables are intended to inform decision-making related to public land use, resource protection, and recreational access by providing accurate, georeferenced information that can be integrated into broader management strategies. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541370, indicating it is for other scientific and technical consulting services, and is structured as a subcontract, suggesting it supports a larger initiative led by the agency. It was posted on June 8, 2026, with no set-aside provisions specified, and performance is expected to occur within California, though no specific city or location is identified. The work will require expertise in spatial analysis, cartography, data collection, and database management, with the ultimate goal of enhancing outdoor recreation planning while respecting ecological limits and public use demands. All activities will be conducted through the designated project portal linked via CEQANet.
