The Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office to Alpine Archaeological Consultants Inc. provides for cultural resource management services across multiple states. Task orders issued against the BPA call for archeological surveys, inventories, site assessments and management plans related to cultural resources on BLM-managed public lands. Services are to be delivered in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho with a total value of approximately $500,000 over various periods of performance through 2026. Task orders specify work on tribal lands, mining districts, and areas such as Peck Mesa, Butte, and Boulder Lake to support the BLM's compliance with historic preservation responsibilities as outlined in the National Historic Preservation Act. Set asides for total small business were applied to certain task orders, while others contained no such designation. The scope of work aims to further the BLM's stewardship of cultural sites under its jurisdiction through contracted identification and analysis of archeological and historical resources on federal property.
The BPA and subsequent task orders provide Alpine Archaeological Consultants with an avenue to offer its archeological and cultural resource services to the Bureau of Land Management in support of the agency's land management activities. By awarding work through the BPA against Alpine's GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, the BLM can efficiently procure specialized expertise on an as-needed basis across state boundaries to inventory cultural sites and develop preservation strategies compliant with relevant historic protection regulations.
