Blanket Purchase Agreement 1240BE21A0015

The USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region awarded a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement to Harris Environmental Group, Inc. for cultural heritage services across Oregon, Washington and Alaska. The IDV has a potential value of $7.5 million and period of performance through June 2026. Task orders issued against the BPA include archaeological and historical surveys, National Register eligibility assessments, and maintenance activities for recreation residences. Deliverables incorporate a range of cultural resource specialties such as archaeology, history, architecture, and ethnography to support the agency's natural resource stewardship and public use mandates under the National Historic Preservation Act.

Harris Environmental Group, an SBA-certified 8(a) and HUBZone small business, is fulfilling orders as the prime contractor. Task orders awarded to date provide diligence mine cabin reporting, heritage surveys, and tract maintenance, with a combined value of approximately $116,000 and periods of performance through 2023. The original solicitation for the IDV was set aside for total small business and aimed to establish a pool of cultural resource contractors capable of assisting the Forest Service's management of precontact, historic, and ethnographic assets across Oregon, Washington and Alaska through various identification, evaluation and treatment activities.
