Indefinite Delivery Contract AG435HC130006

The federal government has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Southern Research Historic Preservation Consultants, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business, to provide cultural resources services for the USDA Forest Service's Region 8 - Southern Region. The $100,000 master IDC, awarded in 2013, establishes a multiple-award IDIQ contract vehicle to support the agency's cultural resource survey and evaluation requirements on national forest lands across multiple states.

Specific task orders issued against this IDC include archaeological surveys, historic research, and cultural resource assessments for various land management projects such as timber sales, dispersed recreation areas, and forest restoration efforts. These firm-fixed-price task orders, which range from approximately $9,000 to $58,000, involve cultural resource surveys covering areas from 27 to 2,004 acres. The work performed under this contract supports the Forest Service's mission to manage and preserve the cultural and natural resources on federal lands. Southern Research holds a separate $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service to provide a broader scope of professional services related to land management and resource conservation.
