F--Special Notice-Consolidation RFP No. 140L0125R0010

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking proposals for the Wild Horse and Burro Program (WHBP) Support Services for Off-Range Pastures (ORP). The goal of this acquisition is to secure enough ORP space to continue caring for approximately 12,600 horses from expiring contracts and to obtain approximately 3,400 additional space horses. The total horse requirement is to contract for daily services for approximately 50,000 wild horses. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with a period of performance of 5 or 10 years. The contract ceiling is $226,000,000. • The contractor shall provide services for a daily quantity, not to exceed (NTE), chosen by the Offeror within the BLM range of 200 to 10,000 wild horses. • No single vendor can meet the entire need for horses, so multiple awards will be necessary. • The BLM identified 10,000 as the maximum number each vendor can provide, based on historical data related to the quality of animal care. • The contract will require the contractor to provide care for wild horses, including feeding, veterinary care, and handling. • The contractor will be required to have facilities and equipment to care for the horses, and to provide reports and data to the BLM.
