The property is a Native Allotment held in trust by the United States, and the appraiser must conduct a complete valuation in strict compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Standards 1, 2, and 3, utilizing the Cost, Income, and Sales Comparison approaches as appropriate.

The solicitation is a firm-fixed-price contract with a 165-day performance period starting from award, requiring the initial appraisal to be completed within 120 days and the final report to be submitted within 15 days of review. Invoicing must be processed exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with payment expected within 60 days of acceptance, and contract closeout will occur 60 days after final payment.
