Hydrographic Data Processing and Visualization Services

The contract entails processing raw sonar data into GSF file format and generating single-frequency acoustic backscatter mosaics to support NOAA’s ocean mapping initiatives, using QPS software tools. This work is critical for producing high-quality hydrographic datasets that inform marine charting, habitat analysis, and seabed characterization efforts under NOAA’s broader ocean observation and mapping goals. The services are to be performed at the designated place of performance in Silver Spring, Maryland, with a zip code of 20910, and fall under the NAICS code 541380 for other scientific and technical consulting services. This is a subcontract opportunity posted on July 27, 2026, with a response deadline of August 11, 2026, and is managed by the Department of Commerce, NOAA. The contract aims to integrate advanced data processing techniques into NOAA’s operational workflow to enhance the accuracy and consistency of acquired sonar data products. While no specific set-aside status or point of contact is listed, the work will require expertise in hydrographic data processing, familiarity with QPS tools, and the ability to deliver standardized, mission-critical outputs aligned with NOAA’s standards for marine geospatial data.
