About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Utah Region issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for archaeological collection curation services for the Cerberus Collection, awarding contract 140L5725P0058 to the University of Utah's Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU) on September 23, 2025. The contract is valued at $268,080 over five years, structured as a base year plus four option years at $53,616 annually, to provide specialized curation assistance for preparing archaeological objects for permanent storage. BLM justified the sole source award based on NHMU's existing expertise with the Cerberus Collection, established curation processes, permanent specialized staff, climate-controlled secure facilities, pest management capabilities, and proximity to the BLM Utah State Office. The museum currently houses hundreds of boxes from the Cerberus Collection and has demonstrated extensive experience in archaeological collections management. The contract requires NHMU to provide comprehensive curation services including specialized expertise in archaeological object preparation, secure climate-controlled storage facilities, and professional collections management support, with BLM committing to conduct market research before exercising future option years.
