Woods Canyon Archaeological Consultants, Inc.

Woods Canyon Archaeological Consultants, Inc. is a small-business prime contractor based in Cortez, Colorado, providing archaeological survey, cultural resource inventory, and historic preservation compliance services to federal land management agencies across the western United States. The firm operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with the majority of recent work set aside as Total Small Business awards issued through the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Interior. The Bureau of Reclamation leads by potential value with 17 awards worth $52 million combined; the Forest Service Washington Office's recent $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources BPA award substantially shifts the potential-value ranking toward USDA. By award count, the Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region dominates with 22 awards worth $754 thousand, followed by the Bureau of Reclamation with 17 awards. The top five funding agencies account for 61% of recent awards by count and 96% by potential value. The ranking tension reflects a mix of high-dollar single IDV awards (the $50 million USDA Forest Service LMIR BPA and the $8.8 million GSA Multiple Award Schedule) alongside smaller delivery orders and BPA calls for specific cultural resource projects.

Woods Canyon holds two significant IDVs: the $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources BPA with USDA Forest Service (awarded May 15, 2026, running through March 6, 2033) and a $7 million single-award BPA with Forest Service Region 2 Rocky Mountain Region (April 2022 through March 2027). The firm places 43 task orders under the Multiple Award Schedule, carrying $14.8 million in combined potential value, and executes task orders under multiple indefinite delivery vehicles totaling $2.3 million. Representative work includes a $552,902 delivery order from the Bureau of Land Management Utah Region for Class III cultural resource inventories near Moab (awarded September 2023, completion October 2024); a $341,940 delivery order from the Department of the Interior National Office for archaeology services at Mesa Verde National Park (awarded May 2026, completion April 2028); and a $361,301 delivery order from the Bureau of Reclamation for Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project archaeological monitoring and treatment planning (awarded February 2022, completion February 2027). A majority of awards are firm fixed price.

Activity shows moderate recent volume with four awards in 2026 (most recent July 2, 2026), seven in 2025, and four in 2024, following a baseline of six to eight annually in 2022–2023. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is limited: eight awards with combined potential value of $1.4 million reach ultimate completion within that window. SCI-reported invoicing for federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold ran $839 thousand in FY2022 across 5.6 FTEs and $965 thousand in FY2023 across 6.7 FTEs; no invoicing appears in the FY2024 SCI dataset. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts averaged $76.77 per hour, with a 10th percentile of $68.95 and 90th percentile of $86.35. The vendor does not engage subcontractors on SCI-reportable contracts. The firm's primary NAICS focus is 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), with secondary work under 541730 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities); the dominant PSC code is Special Studies/Analysis – Archaeological/Paleontological, appearing in 70 awards.
