R--Appraisal Services in New Mexico. Case Name: Navaj

The contract solicitation for appraisal services in New Mexico under Case Name Navajo Tracts (AQD_NAV_2026_02) seeks a Firm-Fixed-Price engagement to complete 26 individual property appraisals in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, specifically reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, with potential eligibility for 8(a) participants, and requires all offerors to be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code. Performance is to occur across Sandoval, San Juan, and McKinley Counties in New Mexico, with deliverables consisting of 26 electronic, unlocked PDF appraisal reports submitted within 60 days of award and subject to review by the Appraisal Services Office, with final payment contingent upon approval. Contractors must employ Certified General Appraisers licensed in the state and demonstrate prior experience in similar federal or tribal land appraisals, particularly on or near the Navajo Reservation. The evaluation process prioritizes State Certification, Technical Acceptability, Past Performance, and Delivery over Price, which is assessed for completeness and reasonableness without rigid numerical weighting, and award will be based on best value through trade-off analysis, not lowest price technically acceptable. Invoicing must be conducted exclusively via the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and compliance with the Service Contract Act is mandated, supported by specific wage determinations for the three counties. The contract includes mandatory clauses for whistleblower rights, prohibition on confidentiality agreements, SAM maintenance, and commercial services terms, with labor standards and fee structures tied to federal regulations. Although the solicitation specifies a 100-day performance period and FOB Destination terms, no line-item pricing, contract value, or option quantities are provided, and while a Contracting Officer’s Representative role is required, specific contact details for the COR or PCO are not identified in the documentation.
