The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Intermountain Region awarded a $245,842 firm fixed-price delivery order to Espinoza Cultural Services, LLC for archaeological survey work supporting the Zion Water Resources Recovery Section 106 project near La Jara, Colorado. The contract, awarded July 26, 2024, with completion targeted for February 1, 2026, is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. Espinoza Cultural Services, a Colorado-based women-owned small disadvantaged business certified as a HUBZone firm, specializes in cultural resource management and environmental compliance services required under the National Historic Preservation Act and related federal statutes. The company is well-positioned to execute this work through its existing $7 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region for forestwide cultural resources surveys.

This delivery order represents a discrete task within Espinoza Cultural Services' broader portfolio of federal cultural resource contracts. The company maintains substantial master contract vehicles including a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service for Land Management Integrated Resources services and a $49 million Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District, from which it regularly executes archaeological survey, site documentation, and historic property evaluation deliverables. Espinoza's demonstrated expertise across multiple states and federal agencies, combined with its established relationship with the Forest Service, positions it to deliver the comprehensive archaeological survey services required for federal stewardship obligations and Section 106 compliance in support of the Zion Water Resources Recovery project.
