F--SILER CATTLE

The contract modifies Task Order P00001 under the IDIQ vehicle 140L0120D0008-140L0125F0048 to extend the period of performance by six months for services related to the Off-Range Pasture program, with the intent to ensure continuity of operations without interruption. The modification incorporates Executive Order No. 14398, reflecting updated federal directives that align with current policy requirements for land and resource management under the Department of the Interior. This adjustment is justified under other than full and open competition due to the unique, specialized nature of the services, the established relationship with the sole source contractor Sharon Riddle, and the critical need to maintain uninterrupted management of the pasture area, which supports ecological and operational objectives that cannot be readily replicated by alternative vendors. The solicitation number is 140L0119R0002, and the NAICS code 115210 identifies the work as support activities for animal production, consistent with the management and maintenance of off-range pasture lands. The contracting office is located in Washington DC under the Department of the Interior, with primary point of contact Cristina Hayden, reachable via email and phone provided. The place of performance details were not specified, but the work pertains to the operational area managed under the Off-Range Pasture initiative. This action ensures compliance with federal mandates while preserving the integrity and efficiency of ongoing land stewardship efforts without the delays or risks associated with recompetition.
