The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center seeks a market value appraisal of three land tracts totaling approximately 7,403 acres in Matagorda County, Texas, with quotes due May 26, 2026, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time. The procurement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS 531320, Real Estate Appraisers.

Place of performance is Matagorda County, Texas. The three tracts (31, 31a, and 31b) comprise improved ranch land with barns, corrals, fencing, and various encumbrances including mineral right reservations and wetland easements. The appraisal will support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's land acquisition determination for just compensation purposes and must comply with both the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA) and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Contractors must hold current Certified General Appraiser licenses, submit evidence of UASFLA experience and comparable projects, demonstrate geographical competency in the region, and include a UASFLA course completion certificate. The target delivery date is 90 days from contract award, with a final delivery date of 130 days. Intent to submit notifications are required by May 22, 2026. This is a firm-fixed-price acquisition; contractors must submit firm-fixed pricing covering all work, travel, and applicable discounts, with invoicing processed through the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform and payment 60 days after appraisal review completion. Evaluation weighs technical qualifications (state certification and acceptability) and past performance (UASFLA experience) more heavily than delivery timeline and price. The procurement incorporates Executive Order 14026 minimum wage requirements of $15.00 per hour.
