The United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service is soliciting real estate appraisal services for the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program Wetland Reserve Easement (ACEP-WRE) through RFQ 12FPC425Q0069. The procurement requires professional appraisal services for four specific properties: the Kirsch property (19.5 acres in Sandusky County, Ohio), the Locy property (29.45 acres in Ashtabula County, Ohio), and the Buck Run LLC property (226 acres in Richland County, Ohio), with the Powell property having been removed via Amendment 01. Contractors must employ State-certified General Real Property Appraisers in good standing with no recent disciplinary actions and demonstrate competency in Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP). The government will award using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria on a firm fixed-price basis. Questions were due by August 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, with quotes originally due August 13, 2025, though Amendment 01 extended the closing date to August 29, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the procurement involves professional appraisal services for agricultural conservation easements that will determine market values for properties ranging from approximately 19.5 acres to 226 acres. The appraisals will assess surface rights, timber, permanent plantings, and irrigation water rights as part of the conservation easement valuation process. All work will be performed in Ohio, specifically across Sandusky County, Ashtabula County, and Richland County. The resulting appraisals will undergo technical review by the Natural Resources Conservation Service to ensure compliance with specified instructions and professional standards.
