Historical Sites

The NAICS code 712120 for Historical Sites encompasses organizations operating and preserving historical sites, monuments, and cultural landmarks. These entities provide specialized services including archaeological surveys, cultural resource management, historic preservation, conservation treatment, and documentation of historical properties. Services typically involve archaeological monitoring, site assessments, restoration work, and professional documentation of culturally significant locations and artifacts.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly involve archaeological and cultural resource management services for federal agencies, particularly the Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, and U.S. Forest Service. Contract values range from approximately $10,000 to nearly $1.7 million, with performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months. Frequently awarded contractors include International Archaeology, LLC, Pacific Consulting Services Inc., and Kleinfelder Inc. Most awards are either unrestricted or set aside for small businesses, with significant work performed in Pacific region locations like Hawaii, Guam, and various military installations. Common contract types include firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders, often supporting infrastructure projects, environmental compliance, and cultural preservation efforts.

Recent federal contract opportunities seek cultural resource investigation services across multiple geographic regions, including Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Hawaii, and Pacific Islands. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has initiated several Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) solicitations for cultural resource investigations and reporting. Specific opportunities include archaeological monitoring for military base rehabilitation, rock imagery conservation treatments, tribal monitoring for archaeological surveys, and monument rehabilitation projects. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with contract values ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 and performance periods typically spanning one to three years. Agencies consistently emphasize requirements for contractors to meet the Secretary of the Interior's professional standards and provide comprehensive cultural resource management services.
