OR-NCRS Cultural Resources

The OR-NCRS Cultural Resources Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a federal contract vehicle focused on cultural resource management services for the U.S. Department of the Interior, specifically supporting the National Conservation Lands and Regional Service (NCRS). Based on the task orders, the vehicle appears designed to provide archaeological and cultural resources survey, documentation, and compliance services across multiple western states, with a primary emphasis on National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) properties. The contract allows for flexible task order issuance to support various cultural resource assessment and preservation needs for federal land management activities.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate cultural resource management work across Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada, with typical contract values ranging from approximately $5,000 to $80,000 and durations spanning 3-12 months. Notable task order descriptions include archaeological surveys, historic property evaluations, boundary surveys, fire-related cultural resource assessments, and Section 110 cultural resource compliance activities. North Wind Resource Consulting LLC appears to be a significant prime contractor, with the task orders showing they are an Alaska Native Corporation-owned small business. The contract vehicle does not consistently use set-aside designations, and task orders are consistently issued as firm fixed-price delivery orders by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1, supporting various National Wildlife Refuges and federal land management sites.
