Appraisal Services: OS5_26_09

The Department of the Interior Departmental Offices Interior Business Center intends to procure appraisal services for five Native Allotment properties located on the Nez Perce Reservation in Idaho, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. This is a market research notice (Sources Sought) and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. The procurement is unrestricted (no set-aside), though the government is specifically seeking Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) and Indian-owned Economic Enterprises (IEE).

The five properties consist of two residential parcels of 0.33 acres each, two agricultural parcels of 40.0 and 100.0 acres, and one residential parcel of 2.0 acres. Appraisals are for probate purposes with an effective date of value of December 20, 2024. The appraiser must be a State Certified General Appraiser in good standing and must develop market value opinions using fee simple estate assumptions and apply hypothetical conditions addressing Indian trust restrictions. All appraisals must comply with current USPAP standards and be presented in narrative format as Appraisal Reports.

Initial appraisal reports are due 160 days after award, followed by a 30-day review period and final reports due 15 days after acceptance. Respondents must submit four-page responses including company information, UEI, CAGE code, point of contact, business classification, and a capability statement addressing relevant experience with similar properties.
