Cultural Resources Multiple Award Services Contract

Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded this Master IDIQ for cultural resources services on May 30, 2025, with ordering authority through May 29, 2033. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $99.9 million and is unrestricted (no set-aside at vehicle level), though task-order activity shows significant small-business concentration in execution.

Fourteen task orders have been awarded since June 3, 2025, obligating $2.6 million against the combined potential value—all potential value has been obligated to date. Ordering momentum is active: 14 orders issued in 2025 (the first and most recent award spanning June through September). The vehicle is in early production phase with 6 years 10 months of ordering authority remaining.

The scope covers archaeological surveys, evaluations, and mitigation; historical surveys; and preparation of cultural resources documents under Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Work encompasses Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah, with California as the primary performance location. Recent task orders reflect site identification and evaluation at Marine Corps installations (MCBCP, MCMWTC Bridgeport, MCAS Yuma, NAWS China Lake, and Fallon Range Training Complex) and tribal cultural resources assessment.

Statistical Research Inc. leads by potential value with $1.5 million across 3 orders; Pax Environmental Inc. follows with $604 thousand across 6 orders; and Erg-Terracon JV holds $391 thousand across 2 orders. These three firms capture roughly 80 percent of combined potential value. Five distinct primes have been awarded to date.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command placed 10 orders ($823 thousand); United States Marine Corps placed 3 orders ($829 thousand); and United States Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center placed 1 order ($942 thousand). Roughly 64 percent of task-order potential value funds Navy direct; Marine Corps entities fund roughly 60 percent combined.

Seventy-nine percent of orders carry total small-business set-asides; the remaining 21 percent are unrestricted. Individual task orders range from minimum-guarantee floors of $5 thousand to performance ceilings exceeding $941 thousand. All orders are priced firm fixed price with completion dates extending through September 2027.
