Historical Sites

Under NAICS code 712120, Historical Sites contract awards and opportunities primarily focus on cultural resource management, archaeological services, and historic preservation activities. These services encompass archaeological surveys, site assessments, conservation treatments, historical documentation, monitoring of cultural sites, and preservation of historical monuments and structures. Contractors typically provide expertise in identifying, documenting, analyzing, and protecting archaeological and historical resources across various federal lands and installations.

Federal contract awards in this category predominantly involve the Department of Defense, particularly Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force, along with the Department of the Interior's National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management. Most awards range from $25,000 to $1,000,000, with performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months. Frequently awarded entities include International Archaeology, LLC, Pacific Consulting Services Inc., and Kleinfelder Inc. The majority of awards utilize firm fixed-price contract types, with approximately 40% designated as total small business set-asides. Common performance locations include military bases in Hawaii, Guam, and other Pacific territories, as well as national parks and forests across the continental United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities seek archaeological monitoring, cultural resource investigations, and historical site preservation services across diverse geographic regions. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has issued multiple solicitations for Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts covering cultural resource investigations in Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii, and Pacific Islands. Other opportunities include archaeological monitoring for airfield rehabilitation in the Northern Mariana Islands, conservation treatment for rock imagery sites in Utah, and rehabilitation of stone monuments at Antietam National Battlefield. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, have base periods of one year with option years, and require contractors to meet the Secretary of the Interior's professional standards for cultural resource management.
