How to bid on UASFLA Land Appraisal Services for Southwest Virginia Regional Recreation Authority
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Southwest Virginia Regional Recreation Authority, also known as Spearhead Trails, needs a Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA) compliant appraisal. This is for six land parcels, totaling about 180 acres, located in Wise County, Virginia, specifically in Coeburn. The appraisal must meet UASFLA standards from the beginning, not be converted from a different appraisal type.
This opportunity is important for appraisal firms because it requires specialized knowledge of UASFLA, often called the “Yellow Book” standard. The appraisal report must be detailed enough to support an independent technical review, which the Authority will arrange separately.
