67--Purchase of Terrestrial Lidar Equipment

The Department of Commerce, through NOAA’s National Ocean Service and National Geodetic Survey, is soliciting two long-range terrestrial lidar systems capable of acquiring survey-grade three-dimensional data at distances of up to two kilometers from limited or remote terrestrial locations. These systems must deliver high accuracy and sufficient point density to support nationwide emergency response, damage assessment, and precise geodetic applications required for the congressionally mandated national shoreline survey. The procurement includes not only the hardware but also associated software, comprehensive maintenance plans, ongoing training, and licensing agreements to ensure sustained operational capability and user proficiency across NOAA teams. Responses are due by August 10, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 30, 2026 under number 1305M226Q0195. The NAICS code for this requirement is 333310, indicating it is classified under manufacturing of surveying and mapping instruments. The solicitation is unrestricted with no set-aside provisions, and performance will be centered in Silver Spring, Maryland, though equipment may be deployed nationwide. Primary point of contact is Kirstin Bryant, with secondary contact Nicole Lawson, both reachable via NOAA email. All inquiries and submissions must be made through the official SAM.gov portal linked in the posting.
