Appraisal Services in New Mexico. Case Name: Navaj

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center seeks market value appraisals for 26 tracts of allotted land in New Mexico (McKinley, Sandoval, and San Juan counties) known as Navajo Tracts, with quotes due May 18, 2026 at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. The procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 531320 and PSC R411, firm-fixed-price structure. Amendment 0001 extended the original May 14 deadline to May 18; submission of intent is due May 11, and questions close May 11.

Place of performance is New Mexico (McKinley, Sandoval, and San Juan counties). The appraisals support a potential sale transaction and fulfill federal trust responsibilities for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Contractors must hold or obtain a valid New Mexico Certified General Appraiser license, demonstrate relevant experience appraising agricultural or comparable land and Indian Reservations, provide at least three recent comparable vacant land appraisals in Western New Mexico or the Navajo Reservation, and submit five recent USPAP-compliant appraisal samples with client references. All appraisals must comply with USPAP standards and employ the Sales Comparison Approach with detailed comparable property analysis. Target delivery is 60 days from award; maximum performance period is 100 calendar days. Pricing must be all-inclusive, covering travel, fees, and applicable discounts. Service Contract Labor Standards wage determinations apply, with health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour. Payment is made 60 days after the AVSO review appraiser certifies completion.

Evaluation is conducted on best-value trade-off basis, with state certification, technical acceptability, past performance, and delivery weighted more heavily than price. Contractors must register in SAM.gov with an active UEI prior to submission and acknowledge receipt of Amendment 0001.
