LCAI ROUND 15

The Bureau of Land Management is soliciting quotes under the Lincoln County Land Act of 2000 to fund archaeological studies in Lincoln County, Nevada, using proceeds from the sale of public land. The work focuses on the inventory, evaluation, protection, and management of unique archaeological resources, with all proposals required to include a detailed performance-based statement of work outlining the project description, methodology, timeline, milestones, and performance standards. Quotes will be evaluated and awarded as firm-fixed-price contracts using simplified acquisition procedures, except for federal agencies, which will enter into interagency agreements under FAR Part 17.5. Offerors are responsible for drafting their own performance-based statements and must provide all labor, equipment, transportation, supplies, and incidentals necessary to complete the work. This solicitation, identified as LCAI ROUND 15 with solicitation number 140L3926Q0030, is classified under NAICS code 541990 for all other professional, scientific, and technical services. The opportunity is managed by the Nevada State Office of the Department of the Interior, located in Reno, NV, with Tyler Johnson as the primary point of contact. Proposals are due by August 14, 2026, and interested parties may also apply for cooperative agreements through Grants.gov under NOFO L26AS00091. The place of performance is unspecified but tied to Lincoln County, Nevada, and all work funded through this solicitation must directly support the preservation and management of archaeological resources within that region.
