F--Eastern States ORC Region 3

The solicitation for F--Eastern States ORC Region 3, issued by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management ACQ & FA office, seeks contractors to provide Off-Range Corral (ORC) Support Services for the Wild Horse & Burro Program in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period extending through July 31, 2031, structured as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) agreement where payment is based on unit rates for specific Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), including care and feeding per animal-day and veterinary services capped at $350 per animal per year. Offerors must propose a facility capacity between 120 and 400 wild horses and burros, though actual animal numbers will vary during performance. Services include feeding, daily care, maintenance, carcass disposal, and veterinary support, with all work to be performed at the contractor’s facility or as directed in individual task orders during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. Daily feed and care logs must accompany monthly invoices, and incident reports must be submitted within 24 hours of any animal injury, illness, or death. Contractors must comply with a range of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including labor standards, payment to small business subcontractors, government property management, and a modified preference for U.S.-flag vessels with both Alternate I and Alternate II applied. The contract mandates adherence to the BLM’s annual CAWP and Euthanasia training, implementation of a comprehensive Safety Plan addressing OSHA requirements, PPE, weather, communication, medical proximity, and emergency contacts, and provision of insurance coverage with 30-day cancellation notice provisions for both the prime and all subcontractors. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to Lisa Turner by May 29, 2026, in five clearly labeled volumes without pricing in Volumes I through IV, and must include a Past Performance Questionnaire, Real Property Management Manual, and Property Receipt Hand Receipt. Offerors are required to complete current representations and certifications in SAM, including small business status, and must be registered in SAM with accurate business size data. The evaluation process uses a two-phase approach with a mandatory pass/fail gate on Facility-Land capability, followed by evaluation of Technical Capability as the most critical factor, then Past Performance and Small Business Participation, with Price assessed across all five ordering periods.
