About this file
This Amendment #1 document is a Fixed Price Bid solicitation issued by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) bioarchaeological services. The solicitation (Number 5400029607) requests qualified bioarchaeologists or forensic/biological anthropologists to evaluate fragmentary bone collections at the SCDNR-HTP facility in Columbia, South Carolina. The scope involves on-site evaluation of osseous materials with no in-depth research or reporting required. Questions from offerors must be received by April 8, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EST, with sealed bids due by April 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST. Award notification is scheduled for April 23, 2026. The contract term runs from April 24, 2026, through April 23, 2029, with automatic one-year renewal options unless the state provides thirty days' notice of non-renewal. Bids must be submitted online through the SCEIS portal, or by mail/delivery to the SC Department of Natural Resources, Attn: Procurement Services, 260D Epting Lane, West Columbia, SC 29172. No pre-bid conference or site visit is required.
Compensation is fixed at $120 per hour for work performed at the facility, with travel costs reimbursed at South Carolina state rates for meals and mileage plus GSA rates for housing for out-of-area providers. Approximately 360 hours of annual work is anticipated across three consecutive fiscal years, distributed among multiple selected vendors, with new contracts awarded on the first and fifteenth of each month beginning May 15, 2026. All approved qualified providers will be placed on a Qualified Provider List (QPL) and scheduled based on availability and funding. The estimated annual contract value is approximately $43,200, with a potential three-year contract value of approximately $129,600 before renewal options. The amendment clarifies that lab work will be broken up into phases based on available budget per fiscal year and split across qualified vendors, and that no chemical analysis or specialized identifications will be performed, with all materials remaining in the state facility. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or incumbent vendors are identified in this solicitation.
