Espinoza Cultural Services, LLC

Espinoza Cultural Services, LLC (doing business as Espinoza Consulting Services), a Colorado-based HUBZone-certified women-owned small business and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, delivers archaeological surveys, cultural resource inventories, historic property assessments, and Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act compliance documentation to federal land management and infrastructure agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across all fifty states and territories. The firm competes predominantly under Total Small Business and HUBZone set-asides, with recurring 8(a) Sole Source awards in its earlier portfolio.

Espinoza's customer base concentrates heavily in Forest Service regions and Department of Interior bureaus managing public lands. The top five funding agencies account for 79% of recent awards by count and 87% of combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates both dimensions: the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions carries a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA (LMIR) running through March 2033, while the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (R2) alone accounts for 76 awards totaling $10.3 million in combined potential value. The Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District anchors $49.4 million across two awards—a $49 million Cultural and Environmental Resources Services MATOC (awarded September 2022, expiring September 2027) and subordinate delivery orders. The Forest Service Southwestern Region (R3), Southern Region (R8), and the Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region round out the active set. By potential value, the two largest IDV vehicles (LMIR and USACE Sacramento MATOC) represent roughly 62% of Espinoza's total portfolio ceiling.

Espinoza holds four principal indefinite delivery vehicles. The $50 million LMIR BPA with USDA Forest Service (award date April 4, 2024) funds archaeological surveys, site documentation, visual resource inventories, and historic property nominations across all Forest Service locations through 2033; recent BPA calls include a $14.3 million Croatan Landscape Archeological Survey Project in North Carolina (award March 17, 2025, completion June 30, 2030), a $488 thousand intensive cultural resource survey in Arizona's Groom Creek (September 2026), and a $432 thousand heritage survey for reforestation site prep in Pacific County, Washington (August 2025). The $49 million Cultural and Environmental Resources Services MATOC with USACE Sacramento (award September 22, 2022, expiring September 2027) covers Phase I and Class III archaeological surveys, site documentation, and National Register eligibility determinations; Espinoza has drawn a $1.1 million delivery order for Phase I and Class III surveys at Waurika Lake, Oklahoma (May 2025) and a $367 thousand order for a draft cultural resource inventory report in West Sacramento (September 2024). A $7 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2027) supports regionwide cultural resources surveys across Colorado and adjacent states, with deliverables including archaeological inventories, historic property assessments, and GIS database work. A June 2024 award of a $6.5 million IDIQ MATOC with the Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District (expiring August 2029) provides cultural resource services for the Tulsa District footprint. Additionally, Espinoza holds a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule position supporting delivery orders for similar cultural resource work across federal agencies—21 task orders totaling $9 million in combined potential value appear in the source. Representative GSA Schedule labor categories span archaeology laborers at $38.25 per hour (associate degree, one year experience) through QA/QC specialists at $134.88 per hour (master's degree, seven years experience), with architectural historians, GIS specialists, and regulatory compliance specialists positioned across the mid-range ($56–$96 per hour); no security-cleared positions are offered.

Activity has been uneven. Awards averaged 15 per year in 2022, dropped to 4 in 2023, rebounded to 11 in 2024, then declined to 7 in 2025 and 3 in 2026 (through mid-September). The two largest IDV vehicles (LMIR and USACE Sacramento MATOC) collectively account for 73% of the portfolio's combined potential value but represent only 12 awards by count, reflecting their high ceiling but relatively light task-order activity relative to smaller, higher-velocity purchase-order and delivery-order work under smaller agency IDVs. Eight awards (combined potential value $2.9 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure; the USACE Sacramento MATOC itself expires September 2027, opening a recompete window near the end of the forecast period. Espinoza receives no sub-award business and functions entirely as a prime contractor.

Espinoza's work concentrates in two NAICS clusters: 541512 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities—73 awards) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services—53 awards), with smaller shares in forestry support and general consulting. The PSC profile aligns: Support-Professional: Other dominates (70 awards), followed by Special Studies/Analysis—Archeological/Paleontological (33 awards), Other Environmental Services (12), and special studies in history. Across the portfolio, work is performed at dozens of locations spanning Forest Service regions nationwide, with administrative oversight headquartered in La Jara, Colorado. The firm's established track record across multiple Forest Service regions, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Western Area Power Administration, and the Army Corps of Engineers positions it as an incumbent across federal land-management and infrastructure-compliance workflows.
