About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

American Resources Group LTD, a cultural resources management firm based in Carbondale, Illinois, holds a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 8 - Southern Region, valued at $7.5 million through December 21, 2026. This indefinite delivery vehicle was established to provide archaeological and cultural heritage services supporting the agency's land management and historic preservation obligations across multiple national forests. The BPA was solicited on September 22, 2021, with a total small business set-aside designation, reflecting the government's prioritization of small business participation in this procurement. Under this BPA authority, American Resources Group LTD delivers comprehensive cultural resource management services including archaeological field surveys, background and historical research, site delineation and condition assessments, National Register of Historic Places eligibility determinations, and artifact curation—all essential to ensuring compliance with federal historic preservation regulations including the National Historic Preservation Act.

The prime contractor has exercised this BPA through numerous task orders spanning from June 2022 through September 2025, with performance locations concentrated throughout Arkansas, including sites in Mena, Hot Springs National Park, Waldron, Mount Ida, Russellville, Clarksville, and Paris. Individual task order values have ranged from approximately $26,500 to $179,200, with project scopes encompassing heritage surveys (Wolf Pinnacle, Freedom Mountain, Upper Fiddlers), cultural resource surveys for fire line and prescribed burn operations, watershed surveys (Big Fork and Upper South Fork), and land management project support (South Piney Project, Central Fanes Mill Project). These task orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts with completion dates aligned to the agency's project timelines. The BPA arrangement enables the Forest Service to efficiently access American Resources Group LTD's specialized expertise for episodic cultural resource management requirements without requiring full and open competition for each individual project need.
