R--Appraisal services: CEPR (Cle Elum Pool Raise) Parcels 12048, 12049, 12050, AVI

The U.S. Department of the Interior, through the Interior Business Center’s Acquisition Services Directorate, is proceeding with a sole-source, firm-fixed-price acquisition for land appraisal services related to the Cle Elum Pool Raise project on parcels 12048, 12049, and 12050 in Kittitas County, Washington. The contract, identified by solicitation number 140D0426Q0486 and agency case number 00230834, is being awarded to Deer Park Appraisal, LLC under FAR 6.302-1, citing unique qualifications and authority under FAR 12.102 to restrict competition. The work requires the preparation of a market valuation and appraisal report in compliance with NAICS code 531320 and PSC code R411, with an anticipated performance period of 120 days following contract award. Respondents were required to submit a capabilities statement no longer than five pages, in electronic format only, with file sizes not exceeding 8 MB and using a minimum 11-point font. Proprietary information must be clearly marked, and all submissions become government property upon receipt. The solicitation did not specify evaluation criteria or weights, as the procurement is non-competitive; however, offerors must demonstrate technical capability to perform the full scope of work to be considered responsible. The contracting officer, Jacqueline Hernandez, and contract specialist, Ann T. Woodall, are the primary points of contact, based in Herndon, Virginia, with no requirement for physical packaging, security clearances, or cost reimbursement for proposal preparation. No specific appraisal standards such as USPAP were explicitly cited, though industry norms are implied. The agency has not disclosed the estimated contract value, as pricing will be determined through negotiation post-capabilities review.
