The Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement to True North Sustainable Development Solutions LLC for cultural heritage services in Regions 6 and 10. The agreement, with a potential value of $7.5 million over five years, provides for a wide range of professional services related to the identification, investigation, and protection of cultural resources on Forest Service lands. Services include archaeological surveys, National Register eligibility assessments, data recovery and analysis, traditional cultural property studies, historic structure assessments and rehabilitation, cultural resource management plans, and interpretive product development. The original solicitation, set aside for total small businesses, aimed to establish parent blanket purchase agreements to facilitate project-specific task orders in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska for services like field inventories, literature reviews, oral histories, monitoring, and collections preparation. The blanket purchase agreement supports the Forest Service's responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act by providing access to specialists in archaeology, history, anthropology, ethnography, architecture, curation, archives, and geospatial information systems. Task orders will help the agency manage precontact, historic, and ethnographic resources for public benefit through preservation, access, and research. The multiple awards across Regions 6 and 10 allow for efficient, compliant procurement of cultural resource management expertise on an as-needed basis over the five-year ordering period.
