Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc. (OVAI), a small, woman-owned, and economically disadvantaged business certified under the SBA's 8(a) program, was awarded a Federal Supply Schedule contract by the General Services Administration. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, OVAI provides a range of archaeological and cultural resource management services to various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, National Park Service, and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Notable task orders include geophysical surveys at national parks, archaeological inventory and evaluation services for the USDA, and support for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's recovery missions. Many of these orders are firm-fixed-price contracts, though some utilize time and materials pricing. The work spans terrestrial and underwater archaeology, historic preservation, environmental planning, and Native American consultation, primarily at military installations and federally-managed historic sites and parks. The IDV has a $4.5 million ceiling value over five years, solidifying OVAI's role as a trusted partner for the government in cultural resource management.
The company's capabilities and past performance, combined with its small business certifications, have enabled it to secure a range of federal contract awards. While some of the task orders are set aside for small businesses, many are competed on an unrestricted basis, demonstrating OVAI's competitiveness in the federal marketplace. The diverse portfolio of projects undertaken by OVAI under this IDV showcases the firm's versatility in supporting the cultural resource management needs of both civilian and defense agencies across the United States.
