This contract solicits appraisal and valuation support management services for the Department of the Interior under a total small business set-aside NAICS code 541611, with the goal of awarding up to three contracts to responsible small businesses. The scope includes managing end-to-end property appraisals across ten fixed-price categories ranging from $9,999 to $100,000 per unit, as well as consulting and support services delivered on a time-and-materials basis with an annual ceiling of $1,000,000.
