Mine mill cost data, training

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) National Office within the Department of the Interior is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive mine and mill cost estimation data, reclamation bond cost estimation software, and online technical training services. The procurement encompasses three primary deliverables: development of detailed Mine and Mill Cost Data covering cost indexes, labor rates, equipment costs, transportation expenses, and smelting information for North America; creation of Reclamation Bond Cost Estimation Software capable of calculating various remediation and closure costs; and provision of an online technical training curriculum for BLM employees in mining-related disciplines. The contract is structured as a one-year base period with options for four additional renewal years, requiring the contractor to maintain secure websites hosting the deliverables and provide quarterly updates to the Mine Cost Data and quarterly or semiannual updates to the Reclamation Bond Cost Program. The solicitation number is 140L0625R0011, and proposals are due by September 8, 2025, with amendments already issued on August 29, 2025.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears to be a full and open competition under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services. INFOMINE has been identified as a suggested vendor in the amendment documentation, potentially indicating familiarity with similar work or current involvement in related services. The estimated contract value is listed at $34, though this appears to be a placeholder figure given the comprehensive scope of services described in the Statement of Work. The contract includes optional items such as additional user access, coal cost data, historical mine cost data, and supplementary training modules that could expand the overall value. Performance will involve maintaining secure web-based platforms and delivering regular updates throughout the contract period, with the primary contracting office located at the Denver Federal Center through the BLM IT Network Operations Center.
