COLORADO PLATEAU ARCHEOLOGICAL ALLIANCE

COLORADO PLATEAU ARCHEOLOGICAL ALLIANCE specializes in cultural resource management and archaeological survey services, with technical expertise in federal compliance, site identification, documentation, and mitigation planning under the National Historic Preservation Act and Section 106 review processes. The firm conducts field surveys, cultural resource inventories, and heritage impact assessments across sensitive landscapes, with a focus on prehistoric and historic archaeological resources in the American Southwest. Their work integrates geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and archival research to support land-use planning and environmental review for federally funded or permitted projects. A key differentiator is their deep regional knowledge of Colorado Plateau archaeology and experience working within complex tribal consultation frameworks. Award history is not available to confirm specific agency relationships, but based on their NAICS classification and geographic focus, the contractor likely provides services to agencies managing public lands, including the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and National Park Service, where cultural resource compliance is required under federal environmental statutes. The primary NAICS code 541620 reflects specialized scientific consulting in archaeological and historical services, positioning the firm within the federal environmental and cultural heritage market. Their vertical specialization lies in pre-contact and colonial-era site evaluation, artifact analysis, and heritage preservation planning, serving infrastructure, energy, and transportation sectors requiring regulatory clearance. The entity is structured as an 8H (Native Hawaiian Organization) and is headquartered in Ogden, Utah, with operational reach across the Intermountain West. While no additional federal certifications are listed, their organizational structure and regional focus suggest alignment with tribal and federal preservation mandates. Their market positioning is grounded in localized expertise rather than broad-scale federal IT or construction contracting.
