Aerial Surveys International Awarded GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract

Covers GIS Services and Earth Observation Solutions Government-Wide

 WATKINS, Colorado — 11 September 2026 — Aerial Surveys International (ASIntl), a Watkins, Colorado-based provider of high-resolution digital aerial imagery, LiDAR data, and geospatial analytics, has been awarded a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The award enables federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies nationwide to procure GIS and Earth observation services directly from ASIntl as a prime contractor — a significant expansion of a role the company has built over nearly three decades as a trusted subcontractor to the federal mapping community.

“Aerial Surveys International of Watkins, Colorado, operates a fleet of eight digital imaging and LiDAR data acquisition aircraft.”

The Aerial Surveys International GSA contract number is 47QTCA26D008Q – Visit the GSA eLibrary at https://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov

The GSA Schedule award covers Special Item Number (SIN) 541370GIS for GIS services and SIN 541370GEO for Earth observation solutions. Core GIS services include geospatial analysis, spatial modeling, mapping, cartography, and environmental geospatial work. Earth observation solutions include the collection of imagery, sensor data, and related analytics captured by aerial, satellite, and other platforms — placing ASIntl among a select group of contractors authorized to deliver both categories of service under a single GSA vehicle.

“This GSA contract allows Aerial Surveys International to serve the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, NOAA, the U.S. Forest Service, and many other government agencies as a prime contractor, delivering the same high-quality aerial imaging and LiDAR services we have provided them as a trusted subcontractor for almost 30 years.” — Mark Schubert, CEO, Aerial Surveys International.

Federal Agencies Now Able to Engage ASIntl Directly

SIN 541370GIS and SIN 541370GEO are open, government-wide special item numbers on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, meaning any federal agency, along with state, local, and tribal governments, can now issue task orders to ASIntl without a separate competitive procurement. This includes agencies with which ASIntl has an established, multi-year working relationship as a subcontractor and prime performer, among them:

  • U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) — including the Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC)
  • U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) — including the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP)
  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
  • U.S. Forest Service (USFS)
  • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
  • Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
  • National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
  • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

Because SIN 541370GIS and SIN 541370GEO are available to state, local, and tribal governments in addition to federal agencies, ASIntl’s GSA award also opens direct access for disaster preparedness and emergency response purchases at the state and municipal level, extending the same imagery, LiDAR, and geospatial analytics capabilities ASIntl has long provided to federal science and mapping agencies.

Partner Network Gains Direct Access to Federal Opportunities

ASIntl’s GSA award extends beyond the company itself. ASIntl maintains formal teaming agreements with 27 partner organizations — 7 large businesses and 20 small businesses, including firms holding Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), HUBZone, and Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (DVOB) designations — together representing nearly 4,000 professionals with a combined multi-thousand-year base of aerial and geospatial mission experience. With ASIntl now positioned as a GSA Multiple Award Schedule prime, that entire partner network gains a direct, streamlined path into federal task orders it could not reach on its own.

The award also strengthens the reach of TrinityGEO™, the geospatial intelligence framework ASIntl developed with Polygon Solutions and Urban Hawk. TrinityGEO combines ASIntl’s aerial imagery and LiDAR collection with Polygon Solutions’ 3D modeling and analytics and Urban Hawk’s AI-powered change-detection and object-classification capabilities to support transportation, utility, and defense and intelligence customers. Task orders issued against ASIntl’s GSA Schedule under SIN 541370GIS and 541370GEO give agencies a direct, competitively priced route to that combined capability.

“This award does more than open doors for Aerial Surveys International — it opens doors for our entire partner network. We’ve built formal teaming relationships with 27 organizations, including a number of small, disadvantaged, woman-owned, HUBZone, and veteran-owned businesses, as well as technology collaborators like Polygon Solutions and Urban Hawk through our TrinityGEO framework. A GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract lets us bring that full team to the table on task orders across the federal government, giving our partners a direct line to opportunities most of them could never reach competing on their own.” — Mark Schubert, CEO, Aerial Surveys International.
