The BLM requires a contractor to provide a specific comprehensive database for cultural and archaeological resource data in Utah, including developing a user-friendly database and Geographic Information System accessible by multiple users, with adequate security measures.

The contractor shall supply the necessary qualified personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities to provide BLM archaeologists access to the said databases and provide quarterly data cuts.

Due to their established inventory of all cultural resources within Utah, as well as records of previous cultural resource surveys and investigations, the proposed contractor has the unique capability to fulfill this requirement.

The Sego and UDAM computerized databases provide efficient management, analysis, and retrieval of cultural resources information.

BLM, because of its ongoing land management activities within the State of Utah, requires information from the Sego and UDAM systems and generates information that is subsequently incorporated into these systems.
