International Archaeology, LLC

International Archaeology, LLC, a Honolulu-based for-profit limited liability company established in 2014, provides archaeological monitoring, cultural resource surveys, historic property documentation, and related field recovery services to the Department of Defense across the Pacific region as a prime contractor (79% of recent awards) and subcontractor on environmental and construction projects. The firm operates under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations and is a subsidiary of International Archaeological Research Institute Inc., a non-profit parent entity.

International Archaeology's customer base concentrates heavily on Department of Defense installations across the Pacific. The Department of the Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates the footprint: 61 awards with $160.4 million combined potential value (94% of the firm's total potential value and 92% of awards by count). The United States Marine Corps follows with 19 awards worth $5.1 million, the Department of the Interior's National Park Service Pacific West Region contributes 17 awards valued at $3.8 million, and the Navy Installations Command and Pacific Air Forces round out the active customer set. This concentration reflects International Archaeology's positioning as a regional specialist for Pacific military installations—particularly Hawaii, Guam, Okinawa, and Palau—rather than a distributed federal vendor.

The firm's capability portfolio centers on field archaeology, cultural resource compliance, and historic preservation support for military construction and environmental remediation. Representative work includes a $2.35 million delivery order from NAVFAC (awarded January 2026) for archaeological monitoring and data recovery at the Tactical Multi-Mission Over-The-Horizon Transmitter facility site in Palau; a $906 thousand delivery order (August 2022) for LIDAR data analysis at Camp Hansen, Marine Corps Base Camp Butler in Okinawa; a $844 thousand archaeological survey of the Orote Peninsula at Naval Base Guam (September 2022); and a $545 thousand archaeological data gap survey at Mokapu Peninsula on Marine Corps Base Hawaii (August 2023). Work regularly encompasses Phase I, II, and III archaeological assessments, National Register of Historic Places nominations, curation services, sacred site investigations, and discovery protocols during active construction.

International Archaeology places the bulk of task orders under two Navy IDIQ vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract N6274221D1801 (38 task orders, $11.4 million combined potential value) and N6274215D1819 (27 task orders, $13.6 million combined potential value), with additional work under related NAVFAC and Department of the Interior IDIQs. The firm does not hold GSA Schedules, GWACs, or multi-agency vehicles; all work routes through military construction or environmental management IDIQs.

Activity has grown from nine awards in 2022 to twenty in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show a decline to seven awards each year. Twelve awards with combined potential value $5.9 million reach completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure across NAVFAC task order vehicles. The firm has obligated only $30.5 million against $170.6 million in combined potential value (18% invoiced), indicating substantial performance pipelines on multi-year delivery orders.

In its subcontractor role, International Archaeology provides archaeological monitoring, discovery protocols, and cultural resource surveys to prime contractors including AECOM Technical Services Inc. (multiple environmental remediation and site investigation task orders under CLEAN IV, V, and VI programs), Cardno GS–AECOM Pacific JV (Pacific Deterrence Initiative resource surveys and environmental assessments), HDR Engineering Inc. (water system projects in Hawaii), and Chugach Consolidated Solutions LLC (stormwater remediation work in Guam). The firm also serves as a sub-recipient on a Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency cooperative agreement managed by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, performing Phase I, II, and III archaeological fieldwork in Guam related to historic loss investigations.

The firm's work is concentrated in two NAICS categories: Historical Sites (71 awards) and Engineering Services and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting (17 awards each), with corresponding PSC concentration in Special Studies/Analysis–Archeological/Paleontological (45 awards) and Construction of Restoration of Real Property (20 awards). This specialization in military cultural resource management and Pacific geography creates a narrow but durable customer base vulnerable to shifts in Department of Defense construction and environmental budgets but defensible against non-regional competitors lacking established relationships and site-specific expertise.

Cultural resources management services: archaeological inventory surveys, data recovery, monitoring, preservation/interpretive planning, historical studies, GIS studies, oral history, AA, CIA, Sect.106, wood ID, paleoenvironmental studies, osteological analyses.
