Nakonechny, Lyle D

Nakonechny, Lyle D operates Transect Archaeology, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since July 2005. The business specializes in cultural resource management services, focusing on archaeological surveys, historical research, and cultural heritage preservation across the Pacific Northwest region. Located in Ocean Park, Washington, Transect Archaeology provides critical environmental and historical preservation services to federal agencies, with a particular emphasis on archaeological site identification and investigation.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contracts primarily from the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), focusing on cultural resource inventory surveys across Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. These contracts have included comprehensive archaeological surveys for specific projects like the Summit Road Fuel Break, Mottet Vegetation Analysis Area, and Battle and Bruin units. Each contract is designed to support environmental compliance and historical preservation requirements, with most recent awards set aside for small businesses. The contracts range from $26,795 to $94,803 and involve detailed cultural resource investigations, including identifying archaeological sites, analyzing historic structures, and conducting vegetation-related cultural assessments in diverse geographical areas.

Transect Archaeology holds a significant $7.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Forest Service, effective from June 2021 to June 2026, which enables the company to provide a wide range of cultural heritage services. This multiple-award BPA covers comprehensive professional services including archaeological surveys, ethnographic studies, historic structure assessments, and specialized support such as GIS mapping. The BPA allows for task orders across Regions 6 and 10, supporting the Forest Service's compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. Under this agreement, the company has already received multiple task orders, demonstrating its capability to deliver specialized cultural resource management services to federal agencies through a flexible, long-term contracting mechanism.
