The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Massachusetts is issuing a presolicitation notice for an archaeological and cultural resources survey under an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement, targeting a proposed irrigation well and pipeline project in Worcester County. The project involves installing approximately 2,500 feet of 4-inch HDPE pipeline at a depth of four feet and a 6-inch bedrock well up to 700 feet deep on a former dairy farm now used for vegetable production. Due to the site’s archaeological sensitivity, an intensive ground survey including soil test pits along the pipeline route is required to identify and assess cultural resources, with performance scheduled from August 17 through November 17, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 541620 for environmental consulting services. This acquisition will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price call order exclusively to the sole qualified Small Business BPA holder, Gray and Pape Inc., under contract number 12FPC426A0003. No other firms may respond, as the opportunity is restricted to the existing BPA awardee and remains under the original small business set-aside. The presolicitation was posted on August 3, 2026, with responses due by August 13, 2026, and an anticipated award date of August 14, 2026. Points of contact are Chanda Sow and Oksana Strekha. This notice is for informational purposes only, does not constitute a solicitation, and the government will not reimburse any costs associated with potential responses.

1. Description


The USDA intends to issue a Request for BPA Call Order Proposal under the existing USDA NRCS Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The Government requires an Archeological and Cultural Resource Services firm to conduct a Cultural Resources intensive ground survey for a proposed Irrigation Well and Pipeline Project in Worcester County, Massachusetts.


This is a diversified, medium scale vegetable farm that was historically a dairy farm. The farm has a need for irrigation to supply sufficient water to the farming operations. NRCS has planned and designed an irrigation system that would consist of approximately 2,500 feet of 4” diameter HDPE irrigation pipeline installed at a depth of 4 feet from the ground surface and associated riser hydrants. A 6” diameter bedrock well is planned to be installed up to a depth of 700 feet.


Because this project is located on or near archeologically sensitive landforms and archeological sites, an intensive ground survey including soil test pits along the length of the proposed pipeline is required.

This requirement will be requested by one existing Small Business BPA holder under their previously awarded Firm‑Fixed‑Price BPA:


• 12FPC426A0003    Gray and Pape Inc.


3. Contract Type

4. Set‑Aside Status
