The Archeological Survey Services in SC 2017 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a federal contract vehicle awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service for archaeological and cultural resources survey services across national forests in South Carolina. The vehicle enables the Forest Service to conduct comprehensive cultural resource assessments and historic property surveys in preparation for various land management activities such as commercial thinning, prescribed burns, timber stand improvements, and infrastructure projects. The contract supports the agency's compliance with historic preservation laws by providing on-call archaeological consulting services to inventory and document heritage sites before potential environmental modifications. Task orders under this IDIQ consistently involve intensive pedestrian archaeological surveys across multiple national forests including Francis Marion, Andrew Pickens, and Sumter National Forests, with typical contract values ranging from approximately $3,500 to $213,897. Frequently awarded contractors include Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas (a woman-owned small business), Southeastern Archaeological Services, Apalachee Research Archaeological Consultants, and Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas. The majority of task orders are firm fixed-price delivery orders with contract durations typically spanning 3-18 months. While most task orders did not have a specific small business set-aside, several were designated as total small business awards. The contract's shared ceiling is $975,000, with task orders supporting various projects such as fire line surveys, stream restoration, forest management activities, and hurricane damage assessments.
