The Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management to Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc. to provide cultural resource management services in support of federal lands stewardship across multiple regions. The BPA calls upon the contractor's GSA Multiple Award Schedule for services priced at firm-fixed rates. Under a recent task order issued against the BPA, Far Western will perform a Class III intensive pedestrian inventory on two California parcels totaling 149 acres to identify and record any cultural resources present. This includes newly discovered sites as well as updating data for 14 previously documented locations. Work will be completed in Susanville by October 2023 for $66,109. No set-aside provisions were specified in the award. The BPA and associated task orders aim to procure professional archaeological and historical preservation services to inventory cultural sites and ensure BLM's activities comply with federal preservation statutes. These services will aid BLM's management of public lands and oversight of activities with potential to affect significant cultural resources. Adherence to standards for identification and documentation also furthers the agencies' stewardship role and commitment to maintaining our national heritage.
