Blanket Purchase Agreement 47QRAA18D00AS-140L0621A0017

The Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office to Sundance Consulting, Inc. provides for cultural resource management and consultation services across multiple task orders. Thirteen task orders were awarded against the BPA by the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region to Sundance Consulting, an SBA-certified 8(a) small business, for cultural surveys, inventories, and technical services supporting the agency's cultural resource management programs. Task orders were issued as firm-fixed price calls against Sundance's Multiple Award Schedule contract and total over $2.1 million. Work is to be performed on federal lands located in various cities and towns in Idaho through October 2023. The BPA and associated task orders aim to procure specialized services such as archaeological and historical surveys, ground-penetrating radar surveys, and stakeholder interviews to enable the Bureau of Land Management to meet its responsibilities under federal historic preservation laws as the agency manages cultural resources on the public lands under its purview.

The Blanket Purchase Agreement was competitively awarded using various small business set-asides and the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule as the contracting vehicle. Task orders issued against the BPA provide cultural resource support services furthering the Bureau of Land Management's stewardship objectives across Idaho, including vegetation treatments, grazing permit renewals, fire rehabilitation, and fuels management initiatives. Sundance Consulting, an 8(a) Program participant, serves as the prime contractor delivering technical products and reports to assist the agency in complying with cultural resource protection requirements under its land management activities.
