About this forecast
The Department of the Interior, with funding from the Bureau of Land Management, forecasts a new requirement for archaeological surveys supporting the Fox Fire Salvage Sale and the Lookout Mountain Density Management Project in the Baker Field Office, with solicitation release estimated for 2026-12-01. The surveys must ensure compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act so that fire-damaged timber can be salvaged before it deteriorates and fuel loading can be reduced. The requirement is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), procured as a firm fixed price delivery order competed under simplified acquisition procedures (SAP).
The estimated award value range is $250,000 to $499,000, with award estimated for 2027-03-01 and performance running from 2027-03-01 through 2028-02-29. Work is performed in Vale, Oregon 97918. The point of contact is Erich Schow, Outdoor Recreation Planner, Bureau of Land Management, eschow@blm.gov.
Forecast text
Funding is requested to complete archaeological surveys needed to support the Fox Fire Salvage Sale and the Lookout Mountain Density Management Project within the Baker Field Office. These surveys are required to ensure compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and to allow implementation of priority forest management actions following the Fox Fire. The projects support Department and Bureau priorities for hazardous fuels reduction, forest health and resilience, recovery of economic value from fire-damaged timber, and proactive vegetation management to reduce future wildfire risk. The salvage sale will recover value from fire-impacted timber before deterioration occurs, while the Lookout Mountain Density Management Project will improve stand conditions, reduce fuel loading, and increase long-term forest resilience across the project area. Failure to complete archaeological surveys in a timely manner will delay project planning and implementation, reduce the volume of merchantable timber available for salvage, increase future wildfire and insect and disease risks, and postpone achievement of forest health, resource management, and local economic objectives. These surveys are a critical prerequisite for project completion and associated stewardship outcomes.
