This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a federal contract opportunity with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado Region to conduct Class III Cultural Inventories at the Escalante Ranch (520 acres) and Owl Ridge Arch (1,330 acres) sites.

The RFP specifies the evaluation criteria, which includes managerial qualifications, capacity, technical expertise, and specialized experience, with price as a factor but not necessarily the determining factor. Proposals must demonstrate the ability to conduct cultural resource surveys, record and evaluate cultural resources for the National Register of Historic Places, and produce a report meeting state requirements. The contractor and any subcontractors must hold a current Permit for Archaeological Investigations (PAI). The contract type is firm-fixed price with a flexible period of performance. Proposals are due by September 16, 2024, and multiple awards may be made. The NAICS code is 541620 with a $19M size standard, and this is a total small business set-aside.
