R--Appraisal Services: Northern Cheyenne Sales

This Department of the Interior sources-sought notice (solicitation number 140D0426Q0519), issued by the Interior Business Center Acquisition Services Directorate on behalf of the Appraisal and Valuation Services Office (AVSO), seeks appraisal services for Northern Cheyenne Sales involving allotted trust lands primarily located in Big Horn County, Montana. The appraisal work requires compliance with the 2024 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and federal regulations (25 CFR Part 150.2), focusing on establishing market value for fee simple estates under hypothetical conditions that assume marketability, vacancy, and unimproved land status. The scope includes on-site inspections of specified tracts, analysis of comparable sales with quantitative adjustments, and preparation of detailed digital appraisal reports in unlocked PDF format. These reports must include aerial and ground-level photographs, legal descriptions, and comprehensive market value reconciliations, with all deliverables submitted electronically to AVSO for administrative acceptance and review. The contract performance period is 60 days from award, with subsequent review and revision windows of 30 and 10 days respectively. The solicitation does not specify contract clauses or pricing details as it is a market research action rather than a formal solicitation or awarded contract. Confidentiality, communication restrictions, and report submission requirements are emphasized, including exclusive communication with AVSO and prohibition of disclosures to third parties without written approval. Respondents must demonstrate relevant appraisal capabilities and register with required entity identifiers such as UEI and CAGE codes, while indicating business size and socioeconomic status under categories applicable to Indian-owned enterprises. Responses are limited to four pages and must be submitted via email to the named Contracting Officer by the specified deadline. No evaluation criteria, payment offices, or invoicing methods are detailed, and the document references multiple exhibits containing maps, legal descriptions, title reports, and contact lists to support the appraisal effort.
