R--WH&B Sutherland & Delta ORC Veterinarian Services

The Bureau of Land Management Utah State Office is awarding a firm-fixed-price contract for veterinary services to support wild horses and burros at the Sutherland Off-Range Corral and Delta Wild Horse and Burro Corral in Millard County, Utah. The contract period begins April 21, 2026, and runs through April 20, 2027, with four one-year option periods extending the total potential performance through April 20, 2031. The total estimated value for the base year and all option years is 100,000 dollars, with an annual estimated value of 20,000 dollars. The scope of work includes on-call veterinary care provided on an as-needed basis, encompassing emergency care, Coggins testing, castrations, health certificates, animal identification, micro-chipping, and general corral inspections. A critical requirement is a one-hour response time for emergency services. The contractor must provide a primary, backup, and emergency veterinarian, all of whom must hold valid Utah veterinary licensure and possess at least one year of large animal experience. Award is based on a best-value trade-off approach where technical capability and past performance are significantly more important than price. Technical capability is evaluated on a pass/fail basis, while past performance is assessed based on the relevance and complexity of work performed within the last three years. Invoicing is conducted monthly based on actual hours rendered and unit rates, with miscellaneous services subject to prior approval and annual caps.
