Exodigo has secured a major public-sector contract with the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), significantly expanding access to its AI-powered subsurface intelligence and geospatial solutions for government agencies across the U.S.
Announced March 26, the agreement allows Exodigo to provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and digital land surveying services through DIR’s Cooperative Contract Program. The contract enables not only Texas-based agencies but also eligible out-of-state entities to procure the company’s technology through a streamlined, pre-approved purchasing framework.
DIR contract streamlines access to advanced geospatial technology
The DIR Cooperative Contracts Program is designed to simplify procurement for public agencies by offering pre-negotiated pricing and eliminating the need for lengthy bidding processes. Through this contract, agencies can more efficiently adopt Exodigo’s technology while maintaining compliance with state standards.
“Securing this DIR contract makes it significantly easier for public agencies to adopt modern, AI-driven approaches to understand underground infrastructure,” said Jeremy Suard, Co-Founder and CEO of Exodigo. “We’re excited to support government partners with faster, safer, and more cost-effective project delivery.”
The agreement positions Exodigo as an approved vendor for infrastructure-related digital services, opening the door to broader adoption of its subsurface mapping tools in transportation, utilities and public works projects.
AI-driven mapping brings new visibility to underground infrastructure
At the core of Exodigo’s offering are its Composite Utility Map solutions, which aim to provide a more accurate and comprehensive view of underground conditions compared to traditional methods.
The company’s ExoInfo Composite Utility Map integrates historical records, GIS data, satellite imagery and geospatial analytics into a unified digital platform. This allows project teams to identify potential conflicts and risks early in the planning phase — before construction begins.
Building on that, the Multi-Sensor Composite Utility Map incorporates on-site, non-intrusive scanning technologies combined with AI analytics to detect underground utilities across a variety of terrains. This approach reduces the need for excavation while improving confidence in subsurface data.
Implications for infrastructure and construction projects
As infrastructure investment accelerates nationwide, access to accurate underground data has become increasingly critical. Unknown or poorly documented utilities are a leading cause of project delays, cost overruns and safety risks.
By enabling earlier and more precise visibility into subsurface conditions, Exodigo’s technology can help agencies reduce utility conflicts, improve project timelines and enhance overall construction efficiency.
For contractors, engineers and project owners, the DIR contract represents easier access to advanced tools that can de-risk complex builds — particularly in urban environments where underground infrastructure is dense and often undocumented.
The partnership also reflects a broader trend of public agencies adopting AI-driven solutions to modernize infrastructure delivery and improve capital project outcomes.
