PCR-27-05775 MassGIS FY27 USGS Wetland Mapping Enhancement

The Executive Office of Technology and Security Services (“EOTSS”) announces its intent to procure services from the US Geological Survey (“USGS”). EOTSS, through its Bureau of Geographic Information (“MassGIS”), participates in the USGS 3D Hydrography Program (“3DHP”). Under the 3DHP program, MassGIS has the option to partner with the USGS and have the USGS conduct this procurement through their Geospatial Product and Service Contracts. EOTSS will choose this option.

EOTSS estimates the expenditure for this procurement to be approximately **$271,972.47**.

The USGS partners with state and local governments, as well as other federal agencies on Elevation Derived Hydrography (EDH) data developed from topographical lidar. For this project, EDH data will be used to produce update wetlands data for approximately 3,264 square miles across 22 watersheds. Project specifications will adhere to the USGS Lidar Base Specification, USGS EDH Acquisition Specifications – 2024 Rev. A2, and the National Wetlands Inventory mapping schema; these specifications are industry standards.

The project requirements include integration of wetlands with a number of additional mapped features, including Elevation Derived Hydrography (EDH) data, underground stormwater drainage networks and pipeline infrastructure data, and the top of stream bank locations. This data will be placed in the public domain for the USGS National Map.

All Interested Vendors and Offerors interested in responding to this Notice, regardless of prior communications with EOTSS, must submit a Response to this posting with their interest or comment. All required information must be submitted by **5:00PM (prevailing Eastern Time) on November 12, 2026** to the contact listed below.

After the NOI posting period is completed, EOTSS will either (i) withdraw the notice and not proceed with procuring services from the USGS or (ii) proceed with developing a contractual arrangement with the USGS.
