About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Utah Region has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for temporary curation services with the University of Utah's Natural History Museum of Utah (UMNH). The contract, valued at a base of $7,546.20 with a total estimated contract value of $40,000, will span five years and involves securing and maintaining BLM-owned archaeological collections in a climate-controlled facility. UMNH was selected as the sole source vendor due to its unique qualifications, including being an approved Department of the Interior repository, compliance with federal curation regulations, proximity to the BLM Utah State Office, and significantly lower curation rates compared to alternative facilities. Market research revealed that other curation repositories would charge over $500 per box, making UMNH's rates substantially more cost-effective. The contract includes services such as pest management through freezing, protection of collections from unauthorized access, and facilitating BLM staff's ability to work with the archaeological collections. The BLM intends to continue market research before exercising option years to ensure the arrangement remains advantageous to the government.
