About this forecast
The Department of the Interior is procuring cultural resource management services for the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement, with solicitation release targeted for September 1, 2026, and award anticipated January 1, 2027. The project funds archaeological research required to maintain compliance with the Programmatic Agreement, building on a prior survey of seven study units in the eastern foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains. Work includes obtaining radiocarbon dates, charred plant remains, and evidence of ringmidden use from minimally disturbed sites on BLM-managed lands, with excavations designed to document midden creation and use, establish occupation dates, identify plant materials used for fuel and food, and characterize firecracked features.
The estimated award value ranges from $2 million to $4.9 million under a Firm Fixed Price contract vehicle, with performance in New Mexico and a performance period from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027. The contracting office is the Bureau of Land Management within the Department of the Interior. Aaron W Whaley (awhaley@blm.gov) at the Bureau of Land Management serves as the point of contact.
Forecast text
This project funds research required to maintain compliance with the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement. Building on an archaeological survey of seven study units in the eastern foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains, the project will obtain radiocarbon dates, charred plant remains, and evidence of ring‑midden use from a select group of minimally disturbed sites on BLM‑managed lands. Sites were chosen based on geographic distribution, ring‑midden characteristics, associated features, and the presence of non‑local materials. Excavations within and around the middens will document how they were created and used, establish dates of occupation, identify plant materials used for fuel, food, and fiber, and characterize other fire‑cracked features.
