CULTURAL RESOUCE SERVICES

The Western Area Power Administration, under the Department of Energy, has issued a forecast for cultural resource services under NAICS code 541620, indicating an upcoming procurement focused on specialized environmental and cultural heritage support services. This anticipated contract is intended to address the identification, evaluation, and preservation of cultural resources, likely in relation to federal infrastructure or land management activities within the agency’s operational footprint, though specific locations are not detailed. The solicitation is currently in the forecasting phase with no formal solicitation number assigned, and no set-aside designation has been specified for small businesses or other categories. Two Small Business Program Managers are listed as points of contact, both reachable via email at tetrault@wapa.gov and setzel@wapa.gov, suggesting that small business participation is a consideration in the upcoming procurement. The absence of a designated place of performance or detailed office address implies the work may span multiple sites across the agency’s service region, potentially in the western United States. Interested vendors should monitor official channels for the formal solicitation, as the posted date indicates this forecast was published in July 2026 for a potential future award, and no bid timeline or contract duration is currently available.
