Quick Summary

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC), specifically the NRCS Nebraska State Office, intends to acquire 43 Network Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS surveying service subscriptions on a Sole Source basis from Trans Works (6000 S 58th St, Ste A, Lincoln, NE 68516). This is a Special Notice and not a request for competitive proposals. Responsible sources may submit capability statements by May 01, 2026, 12:00 PM ET.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for 43 Network RTK GPS surveying service subscriptions. These services enable NRCS technicians in the field to receive immediately "corrected" (geo-referenced) GPS position data in real-time, matching Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) ground surface positions. This "on-the-fly" capability is crucial for significant time savings, reducing survey processing errors, and enhancing field layout productivity. The agency states that no other authorized contractors are available to provide the needed equipment and services.
