About this award
The U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station awarded a $63,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Heirshares, LLC on April 15, 2026, to examine informal property ownership in four hurricane-impacted cities: Asheville, North Carolina; Tampa, Florida; Greenville, South Carolina; and Atlanta, Georgia. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will conclude by April 14, 2029, and is performed in Athens, Georgia. This procurement emerged from a sources sought market research notice posted in November 2025, which sought qualified contractors with expertise in real property law and geographic information systems to assess title complexity and informal property ownership patterns in areas affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Under this engagement, Heirshares, LLC will deliver a comprehensive informal property database, geospatial heat maps identifying concentrations of informally owned properties, title complexity stratification analysis, and case studies demonstrating title work for twelve representative properties across the four cities. The contractor is required to employ a Project Administrator with a law degree and minimum five years of experience as a real property attorney. The research will contribute to a USDA Forest Service publication examining how informal property ownership constrains affected communities' access to Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Relief funding, supporting the agency's disaster recovery and community resilience objectives.
