About this vehicle
The U.S. Forest Service, Department of Agriculture Region 8–Southern Region awarded this Master IDIQ for archaeological survey services on forest land throughout South Carolina, with ordering authority that closed on March 31, 2019.
The vehicle is no longer active for new orders; the last task order was placed in November 2019, more than six years ago. All $1.7 million in combined potential value across 25 task orders has been obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2018 with nine orders, then declined sharply to two orders in 2019 before ceasing. The vehicle is a regional single-customer contract serving only the Forest Service's Francis-Marion and Sumter National Forest operations.
Work spans archaeological surveys tied to forest management activities—cultural resources documentation for timber harvesting projects, fire line assessments, post-hurricane damage surveys, stream restoration, and beetle-management initiatives. Task orders are firm-fixed-price delivery orders with typical values between $20 thousand and $200 thousand, mostly nine to twelve months in duration.
Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 13 of 25 orders worth $971 thousand combined potential value (57% of the total). Southeastern Archeological Services Inc. ranks second with six orders valued at $434 thousand (26%), and Apalachee Research Archaeological Consultants Inc. holds five orders worth $267 thousand (16%). The remaining prime, Palmetto Research Institute, received a single $4 thousand order. The distribution is highly concentrated among the top three firms, which collectively hold 97% of awarded work.
About 68% of orders (17) were competed openly; 32% (8 orders) carried small-business set-asides. All work is performed on Forest Service land in South Carolina with administrative oversight at the regional office. The narrow scope, geographic specificity, concentrated customer base, and closed ordering authority make this vehicle unsuitable for new market entry.
