Blanket Purchase Agreement 12467020A0031

The USDA Forest Service Region 8 - Southern Region awarded a $1.55 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas, Inc. (ACOC), a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned small business. This single-award IDV contract provides archaeological support services, including cultural resource surveys, inventories, and site assessments, to aid the Forest Service in complying with historic preservation requirements for land management activities across national forests in South Carolina.

Under this BPA, the Forest Service has issued multiple firm-fixed-price task orders to ACOC, ranging from $11,000 to over $268,000, to conduct intensive pedestrian surveys, inventory historic properties, and mark archaeological sites on national forest lands. These task orders support a variety of land management projects, such as silvicultural treatments, timber harvests, and environmental remediation efforts. ACOC also holds two larger IDVs with the USDA Forest Service - a $50 million BPA for integrated land management services and a $1 million BPA specifically for archaeological support in the Southern Region.
