Bowman Consulting Secures $11.2M Aerial Acquisition Contracts
Bowman Consulting Group has secured $11.2M in new aerial acquisition awards under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Production Imagery for the National Environment Blanket Purchase Agreement. The three awards span the National Resources Inventory, National Agriculture Imagery Program and Stewardship Lands Inventory programs. Together, the assignments include aerial data acquisition and processing for approximately 8.3M acres of NRI sites and 3.8M SL easement acres across 38 states, including full statewide imagery collection for eight NAIP states. The expanded scope more than doubles Bowman's prior-cycle contract value and coverage area, supported by expanded fleet capacity and advanced sensor technology. With all work expected to be completed in 2026, the awards reinforce Bowman's ability to convert organic investments in fleet capacity and sensor technology into larger federal geospatial assignments.
