F--VALL LIVESTOCK WRANGLER SERVICES IAW SOW

The National Park Service has awarded a firm-fixed price commercial contract to Newell Livestock Services LLC, a small business, for livestock wrangling services at Valles Caldera National Preserve, with a total contract value of $43,200.00. The work is performed in accordance with a Statement of Work that requires the contractor to provide all labor, equipment, supervision, and travel necessary to respond to “Will Call” requests within 48 hours of notification, manage trespass livestock, and maintain continuous service readiness. The contract includes a base year and up to three option years, with optional callouts for up to four additional service events annually, though pricing details for these options are not specified in the available records. Performance must comply with federal labor standards including minimum wage requirements under Executive Order 14026, paid sick leave under EO 13706, and service contract labor obligations, with all personnel subject to the contractor’s sole supervision and control. The contractor must also submit a government-approved Quality Control Plan and maintain a written Safety Plan containing emergency contacts, medical certifications, and hospital routing information. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and all payments will be processed through this system using PDF invoices that include the contract number, invoice date, and itemized charges. The Contracting Officer, Colette Riegelmayer, is the primary point of contact, with a Contracting Officer’s Representative to be formally designated after award. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses, including those addressing trafficking in persons, ozone-depleting substances, Buy American requirements, and whistleblower protections, and mandates that these clauses flow down to any subcontracts. Country of origin labeling is required for all products and components, with line item disclosures to be submitted. The contractor must hold a valid UEI and CAGE code and certify its status as a small business, but no socioeconomic set-aside designation is specified. Performance location and inspection acceptance points are not explicitly defined, but all work occurs within Valles Caldera National Preserve. The Government retains full authority for inspection and acceptance, with no use of WAWF or MIL-STDs, and may extend performance by up to six months under optional clauses, subject to written notice and limited labor rate adjustments.
