RFP#71 for Professional UASFLA Land Appraisal Services

The Southwest Regional Recreation Authority, operating as Spearhead Trails, is soliciting bids for a UASFLA-compliant appraisal of six parcels totaling approximately 180 acres in Wise County, Virginia. The appraisal must strictly adhere to the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions from the initial stage of preparation and cannot be a retrofit of an appraisal originally developed under different standards. The contractor is responsible for delivering a comprehensive, technically rigorous report that meets all UASFLA requirements and includes sufficient documentation to support an independent review by a Virginia state-certified general real estate appraiser, who will evaluate the appraisal against UASFLA, USPAP, applicable Uniform Act provisions, and Virginia LWCF standards. This review process is externally managed and falls outside the contractor’s scope, but the contractor’s work must be structured to ensure seamless approval. The solicitation, identified as RFP#71 and numbered RFP-125748, was posted on August 5, 2026, with responses due by August 15, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The acquisition is led by the Southwest Virginia Regional Recreation Authority, a state-level agency based in Virginia, with performance occurring in Coeburn, VA. All submissions must be directed through the designated vendor portal, and inquiries can be directed to James Marcum via phone or email. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification or NAICS code, and the focus remains solely on securing a qualified appraiser capable of delivering a defensible, standards-compliant valuation for federal land acquisition purposes under UASFLA protocols.
