Terraxplorations, Inc.

Terraxplorations, Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that specializes in cultural resource management and archaeological services for federal agencies. The company, registered in SAM.gov since March 7, 2012, provides comprehensive heritage assessment, archaeological survey, and cultural resource compliance services to support federal land management initiatives across the southeastern United States. Terraxplorations holds small business status and has established itself as a primary contractor for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and other federal agencies requiring expertise in archaeological and architectural history evaluations to ensure compliance with environmental and historical preservation requirements.

Terraxplorations has provided extensive cultural resource management services through multiple federal contract awards from the USDA Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Department of Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service. The company's work encompasses Phase I and Phase II archaeological surveys, heritage surveys, site evaluations and boundary definitions, National Register of Historic Places eligibility assessments, and cultural resource compliance activities in support of timber production, forest health initiatives, fuels reduction programs, and post-disaster recovery efforts. Notable projects include heritage surveys for Hurricane Laura recovery efforts on the Catahoula District, archaeological surveys across multiple national forests including Osceola, Ocala, Apalachicola, and Umatilla, timber sale heritage surveys such as the Morgan Fork, Brushy Creek, Maxwell Branch, and McGehee Creek projects, and fuels break cultural surveys at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The majority of Terraxplorations' contract awards have been designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the company's small business status, though several contracts have been awarded without set-aside designations. Recent contract awards have ranged from approximately $10,000 to $311,997, with completion dates extending through 2027, demonstrating sustained federal government demand for the company's specialized cultural resource services across multiple regions and land management priorities.

Terraxplorations currently holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts that establish its capacity to provide cultural resource management services to federal agencies. The most substantial is a $50,000,000 multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service awarded in May 2024, with a nine-year period of performance extending through March 2033, under which the company provides archaeological and cultural resource management services across multiple national forests in Florida through firm fixed-price task orders. Additionally, the company maintains a $20,000,000 multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded in June 2025, with a five-year period of performance through June 2030, enabling the Mississippi Valley Division to obtain cultural resources studies, surveys, archival research, and report preparation to support National Historic Preservation Act compliance. The company also holds a $1,000,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USDA Forest Service that expired June 30, 2025 and provided archaeological support survey services across Florida national forests. The $50,000,000 Forest Service BPA is part of the broader Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA (LMIR) vehicle, which has generated substantial task order activity supporting the agency's land management and environmental compliance objectives. These IDV arrangements position Terraxplorations as an established provider of on-call cultural resource services capable of supporting multiple federal agencies' mission requirements through firm fixed-price task order execution.
