The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service has awarded Acacia Heritage Consulting LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Arkansas, a $7.5 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide archaeological and cultural heritage services across the Southern Region national forests. Under this BPA, Acacia Heritage Consulting has received over $1.5 million in firm-fixed-price call orders to conduct Phase I and Phase II archaeological surveys, site delineation, cultural resource management support, and other compliance services on national forests in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas. The BPA, which was set aside for small businesses, aims to support the Forest Service's management and protection of archaeological resources on the lands under its purview. Acacia Heritage Consulting has extensive experience providing these types of cultural resources services to the USDA Forest Service and other federal agencies. The original solicitation indicated the USDA Forest Service was seeking a contractor to perform archaeological and cultural heritage services, including surveys, investigations, reporting, and artifact curation, across multiple national forests in the Southern Region. The work is required to help the Forest Service comply with federal, state, and local preservation laws in managing its lands and resources. The solicitation was issued as a total small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 541720 and a $22 million size standard. The Forest Service anticipated awarding multiple BPAs as a result of the competitive procurement.
