GIS Data Development & Mapping

The contract requires the development of original GIS databases and maps for designated project areas, with a focus on creating detailed feature classes for sites and associated attribute tables that include critical archaeological and cultural resource data such as Smithsonian numbers, National Register of Historic Places eligibility status, and contractor-assigned identification codes. All deliverables must be accurate, standardized, and tailored to support informed decision-making for land and resource management purposes under the National Interagency Fire Center’s purview. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, indicating specialized scientific and technical services, and is aligned with the Department of the Interior’s broader mission to preserve and document cultural heritage within federal land boundaries. The solicitation was posted on June 30, 2026, with a firm deadline of July 15, 2026, for responses, leaving a narrow window for qualified parties to submit proposals. Although the place of performance and specific office address are not detailed, the nature of the work implies on-the-ground data collection and mapping across multiple federal land units managed by the National Interagency Fire Center, likely in regions prone to wildfire activity where cultural resource surveys are conducted prior to or following fire events. No set-aside preferences are indicated, and the contract is open to eligible subcontractors who can demonstrate expertise in geographic information systems, cultural resource data management, and spatial database construction.
