T--Aerial Photographic Service

The U.S. Geological Survey's National Geospatial Program is undertaking a project to analyze and map low water bridges within the state by integrating these features into the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). This effort supports the broader goal of advancing the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) by identifying critical infrastructure that can mitigate economic losses from flooding, aid in emergency response, and inform future construction planning. The government is considering The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) as the sole source for this contract based on current information but remains open to other potential suppliers. Interested firms capable of providing the required services are invited to submit written responses by June 23, 2012, for evaluation to determine if competitive procurement is warranted. The contract solicitation, titled "T--Aerial Photographic Service" and identified by Solicitation Number G12PS00492, was announced by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition Grants-National. It falls under NAICS code 541922, which relates to commercial photography services. The announcement serves as a sources-sought notice to gauge industry interest and capability in supporting this geospatial data effort. Responses and corresponding materials must be submitted by 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on the stated deadline, and this notice may constitute the government's only formal announcement for this procurement opportunity.
