About this IDV
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc. for comprehensive cultural resource management (CRM) services, effective March 1, 2021, through August 31, 2026. This Total Small Business set-aside contract enables task orders for archaeological surveys, historic preservation compliance, tribal consultation, and environmental planning support across multiple BLM regions. As the funding agency, BLM designated this as a civilian contract under a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) vehicle, establishing Far Western as one of multiple qualified contractors capable of receiving delivery orders without subsequent competitive procurements. The contract structure allows BLM and potentially other federal agencies to leverage Far Western's specialized expertise in cultural resource investigations and reporting for time-sensitive and ongoing projects across diverse geographic areas.
Task orders executed under this BPA demonstrate the vehicle's application across varied archaeological and cultural resource initiatives. A Class II Reconnaissance Survey in Modena Panaca, Utah, valued at $176,745.00, was completed with performance through April 30, 2027, supporting cultural resource identification and documentation. A Class III intensive pedestrian inventory covering 149 acres near Susanville, California, valued at $66,109.00, involved recording newly discovered cultural resource sites and updating 14 previously recorded sites, with completion by October 31, 2023. Additionally, a Northern California Cultural Eden Valley Inventory project valued at $33,017.00 was performed in Arcata, California, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. These task orders reflect the BPA's utility in supporting BLM's environmental stewardship and historic preservation responsibilities through firm fixed-price arrangements, enabling efficient procurement of specialized cultural resource services without the overhead of individual competitive solicitations.
