Appraisal Services
About Us
On November 12, 2003, the consolidation and transfer of the real estate appraisal function to one office under the National Business Center (NBC) was announced. The NBC Directorate, Appraisal Services (ASD) was created through the consolidation of appraisers from four other DOI Bureaus: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and National Park Service (NPS). NBC was chosen to house the new appraisal organization as NBC provides Department-wide business and administrative services and systems to Interior Bureaus and Offices, including payroll, financial and accounting services, procurement, information technology, aviation services, etc. With its variety of locations, NBC is organizationally structured to provide administrative and infrastructure support to the appraisers to improve coordination and consistency in implementing appraisal guidance, professional development of appraisers, and greater efficiencies in contract monitoring and management.
