Blanket Purchase Agreement GS10F0116V-1240LS21A0006

The Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 4 Intermountain Region to Paleowest LLC doing business as Chronicle Heritage for cultural resource surveys. The potential value of the BPA is $7 million to be issued across multiple task orders for work throughout the region. Two task orders have been awarded to date under the BPA. The first calls for archaeological surveys in Nevada worth $498,680 to support the Overland Round 18 Phase 2 project through February 2025. The second is a firm fixed price order of $21,593.10 for a Class III cultural resources survey of approximately 475 acres of forest lands in Nevada to aid the Targeted Grazing Study Project, completing by November 2022. Both task orders utilize the awardee's Multiple Award Schedule contract and have places of performance in Nevada. The purpose of the BPA and task orders is to engage archaeological and survey services to assist the Forest Service in complying with various cultural resources regulations during land management projects across the region.

The Blanket Purchase Agreement and associated task orders procure specialized cultural resources survey and archaeological services from Paleowest LLC dba Chronicle Heritage to support the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 4 Intermountain Region's land stewardship responsibilities under federal historic preservation rules. The BPA's potential $7 million value and award to a vendor holding a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract demonstrate the long-term need for such compliance services on regional projects. The task orders issued to date further the Overland Round 18 Phase 2 and Targeted Grazing Study Project initiatives through surveys of specific Nevada locations.
