Many awards focus on environmental assessments, site investigations, cultural resource surveys, and technical support for abandoned mineral lands, mine remediation, and water resource management. Most contracts are not set aside, though some utilize small business, service-disabled veteran-owned, and Indian small business economic enterprise designations.
