Leveraging Ground-Scanning Technology to Build Understanding of Underground Infrastructure in New York City

The New York City Office of Technology & Innovation (OTI) and Mayors Office of Operations (Operations) invite submissions in response to this Request for Information (RFI) to help determine the feasibility of leveraging emergent technology, particularly ground-scanning technologies, to build a more complete and accurate picture of built underground infrastructure in New York City. The goal of this RFI is to collect information to support the goals of the 3D Underground program (3DU) - https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2025/11/mayor-adams-announces--10-million-platform-to-map-new-york-city-, a cutting-edge program to develop a highly secure, 3D-data-sharing platform for New York Citys underground built and natural environment. The platform will help government agencies and utility companies securely share and access information about what lies below New Yorkers feet, such as water and sewer pipes, gas lines, electrical conduits, fiber optic cables, and soil composition. This RFI is released through PASSPort, New York Citys online procurement portal, as an RFx. Responses to this RFI/RFx must be submitted via PASSPort. To access the RFI, vendors should visit the PASSPort Public Portal.
