Quick Summary
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice Amendment 0001 for a potential Red River Gradient Boundary Survey. This effort aims to identify industry capability and interest for surveying and locating portions of the interstate boundary between Texas and Oklahoma, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Oklahoma v. Texas (261 U.S. 340). Responses to the revised Market Research Questionnaire are due April 9, 2026, by 5:00 PM Mountain Time.
Opportunity Overview
This market research is for a potential single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with an estimated ceiling of $25,000,000 over a 5-year ordering period. Specific survey tasks would be issued via individual task orders. The purpose of this notice is solely to assess industry capability, small business participation, and inform the Government's acquisition strategy; it does not constitute a solicitation.
Key Requirements
The Government is primarily interested in firms demonstrating capability and understanding of performing a boundary survey consistent with the Supreme Court-defined gradient boundary. The revised Market Research Questionnaire clarifies licensing requirements, specifically asking if firms employ or have access to a Certified Federal Surveyor (CFedS) who is a Registered Professional Land Surveyor in Texas and a Licensed Professional Surveyor in Oklahoma.
