F--Eastern States ORC Region 1

This solicitation, numbered 140L0126R0001 and titled F--Eastern States ORC Region 1, is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract issued by the Department of the Interior, Washington D.C. Office, under NAICS code 115210, aimed at securing support services for Region 1 of the Eastern States Office of Resource Conservation. The contract period runs from the award date through July 31, 2031, structured in five annual ordering periods, and is classified as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement where the government pays only the unit prices specified in the bid schedule for CLINs covering Care & Feeding, Vet Services, Hoof Trimming, and Carcass Disposal. Offerors must propose unit prices for each CLIN while also submitting their facility’s maximum capacity—between 120 and 400 WHBs—as part of the technical proposal, though this capacity does not affect pricing. All services are to be performed at the contractor’s facility unless otherwise directed in individual task orders, with operations limited to normal business hours Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The contractor is required to furnish all personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, supplies, and services, with no reimbursement for land preparation, construction, renovation, or facility improvements. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 1600 Eastern Daylight Time on May 29, 2026, to Lisa Turner at lturner@ios.doi.gov, formatted into five distinct volumes with strict separation of pricing and technical content—Volumes I through IV must not include any pricing information. The proposal must adhere to specific formatting rules including 8.5” x 11” page size, a minimum 12-pitch font, numbered pages, and clear graphics, and must conform to the five-volume structure with volume-specific page limits and labeling requirements including the solicitation number, prime contractor name, and volume identifier. Evaluation will be conducted using a best value approach based on an integrated assessment of four weighted factors: Technical Capability (most important), Past Performance, Small Business Participation/Subcontracting Plan, and Price—with the first three combined being significantly more important than price. A critical pass/fail gate exists for Facility-Land, disqualifying any proposal deemed unacceptable on this criterion. Offerors must comply with all FAR clauses, including those for subcontractor restrictions, contractor ethics, whistleblower protections, service labor standards
