The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) defines and manages the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) - the framework for latitude, longitude, height, scale, gravity, orientation, and shoreline throughout the United States. Maintaining and updating this data, as well as conducting research to improve the collection, distribution, and use of this spatial data, is a significant undertaking.

For over 30 years NGS has been offering contracting opportunities to firms providing services which could assist NGS in the pursuit of its mission. NGS has awarded, or will award in the near future, contracts to firms specializing in one or more of the following fields:
  • Aerial Photography Over U.S. Airports
  • Aerial Photography Over U.S. Shoreline
  • Geodetic Surveying Using GPS
  • Shoreline Mapping Using Photogrammetry
  • Shoreline Mapping Using Remote Sensing
  • Height Modernization Surveys Using GPS
  • Geodetic Leveling Surveys
