Description: The North Carolina Geodetic Survey, administratively located within the North Carolina Department of Public Safety/North Carolina Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation Program Support, seeks multiple qualified surveying firms for airborne Lidar projects meeting USGS Quality Level 1 specifications. Vendors will plan and perform Lidar data collection, processing, calibration, quality control, and delivery of mapping products under negotiated IDIQ contracts, with selection based on demonstrated competence and qualifications rather than cost. The posting is an open vendor qualifications procurement—not a grant application—and responses are due September 15, 2026; the specifications reference the USGS 3D Elevation Program grant as program context.
