The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is soliciting appraisal services for a conservation easement acquisition on two non-contiguous wooded tracts totaling 37.40 acres in Wicomico County, Maryland (BLK 171C4 and 171C5), owned by Kevin Green et ux. The procurement seeks a firm-fixed-price appraisal report that complies with USPAP (2024 edition) and UASFLA (6th Edition 2016) standards, with appraisers required to hold a valid Certified General Appraiser license in Maryland or reciprocal equivalent and demonstrate specific experience appraising conservation easements with before-and-after analyses. Evaluation will be conducted on a best-value trade-off basis using four factors: Technical Qualifications, Past Performance, Delivery, and Price, with the first three factors deemed more important than cost. Quotations are due by April 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, with submissions directed to morgan_schickler@ibc.doi.gov and ann_woodall@ibc.doi.gov, and quotations must include 60-day expiration dates and be dated appropriately.

This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The contract requires appraisers to submit documentation of comparable conservation easement appraisals completed in Maryland or nearby states within the past seven years and to demonstrate geographical competency in the market area. The target period of performance is 62 calendar days from award, with an initial appraisal delivery target of 45 calendar days. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documents. All contractors must be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and must comply with FAR clause 52.222-90 regarding discrimination prohibitions, with noncompliance potentially resulting in contract cancellation, termination, or suspension.
