Indefinite Delivery Contract W912P926DA015

New South Associates, Inc., a Woman-Owned Small Business headquartered in Stone Mountain, Georgia, was awarded a $40 million Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on December 1, 2025, with performance extending through May 31, 2031. This multiple-award contract, set aside for woman-owned small businesses, establishes a vehicle for delivering comprehensive cultural resources services matériel and support. The contract procurement originated from a Sources Sought notice issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis in January 2025, which sought to determine acquisition strategy for the Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections. The contract falls under North American Industry Classification System code 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) and Product Service Code B503 (Archaeological and Paleontological Services). New South Associates brings substantial relevant experience, having executed over 150 prime federal contracts and maintaining three major federal contract vehicles collectively valued at approximately $93 million across the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, National Park Service, and General Services Administration.

The scope of services under this Indefinite Delivery Contract encompasses archaeological surveys, Phase I and Phase II archaeological investigations, historic preservation assessments, National Register of Historic Places evaluations, tribal consultations, artifact curation and rehabilitation, geophysical surveys, heritage documentation programs, oral history projects, and specialized support for federal land management and infrastructure development compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Historical delivery orders under New South Associates' existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracts have ranged from under $10,000 to over $5 million, with significant recent awards including an $8.1 million Hurricane Helene response contract and major task orders exceeding $4 million for the Veterans Curation Program. The contractor has demonstrated capability to execute work across multiple geographic locations and federal agencies using firm fixed-price and labor-hours pricing structures, positioning the organization to provide flexible, efficient delivery of specialized cultural resources expertise to support the Corps' operational requirements.
