The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), and National Reconditioning Center (ROC), located in Norman, Oklahoma is conducting market research seeking information regarding capabilities for a standalone contract for LiDAR tree survey in Gray, Maine. The NWS operates the WSR-88D Weather Radar (KGYX) in Gray, Maine. Radar beam blockage caused by surrounding vegetation is degrading data quality. The NWS is currently conducting a survey to determine the most cost-effective long-term solution: removing the vegetation and/or raising the radar tower.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 541370 Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services.
