About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is seeking title abstract and settlement services through a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement for conservation easement acquisitions in South Dakota. The contractor will provide comprehensive title-related services including title searches, title commitments, post-survey updates, final title policies, and closing services for four NRCS easement programs: Agricultural Conservation Easement Program Wetland Reserve Easement, Wetlands Reserve Program, Emergency Watershed Protection Program Floodplain Easements, and Healthy Forest Reserve Program. Contractors must be licensed to conduct title insurance business in South Dakota, maintain active SAM.gov registration, and provide liability insurance coverage. The government will evaluate submissions using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, requiring quoters to submit three volumes covering technical narrative, past performance, and pricing information. The original question deadline was June 17, 2025, at 12:00 PM Central Time, with quotes initially due June 26, 2025, but the final quote submission deadline has been extended to July 3, 2025, at 5:00 PM Central Time.
This procurement is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 541191 with a size standard of $19.5 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified as this represents a new requirement for NRCS South Dakota. The government estimates approximately 10 transactions per contract year, with historical easement purchase prices reaching as high as $1.8 million, though actual values will vary by property. The contract period spans five years from July 9, 2025, to July 8, 2030, with properties primarily located east of the Missouri River in South Dakota. Services will be delivered through individual call orders issued by FPAC Contracting Officers or Authorized Government Purchase Card Holders, with no guaranteed minimum order volume. The place of performance is designated as Huron, South Dakota, though services will be provided for properties throughout the state as conservation easement opportunities arise.
