The Kisatchie National Forest Archaeological Survey Services 2017-2022 is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service to support archaeological and cultural resource management activities across the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana. The contract vehicle enables the Forest Service to rapidly procure archaeological survey and cultural heritage investigation services through a pre-qualified set of contractors. These archaeological surveys are critical for supporting land management responsibilities, protecting cultural resources, and ensuring compliance with federal cultural resource preservation regulations.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently involve archaeological surveys of forest compartments ranging from approximately 200 to 3,600 acres, with contract values typically between $15,000 and $250,000. Frequent prime contractors include R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, MRS Consultants LLC, Cultural Resource Analysts Inc., and Panamerican Consultants Inc., with most being small businesses. The delivery orders are uniformly structured as firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods ranging from six months to two years, predominantly focused on the various ranger districts within the Kisatchie National Forest such as Winn, Catahoula, and Calcasieu. Most task orders do not utilize specific small business set-asides, though a few were designated as total small business opportunities. The surveys involve detailed archaeological investigations to document and preserve cultural heritage sites within the forest's boundaries.
