The Navajo Nation’s Hopi Land Commission is seeking a qualified firm to manage the 64,000‑acre Padres Mesa Ranch, a demonstration operation that raises cattle and provides sustainable grazing education. The contractor will oversee daily ranch operations, livestock sales, conservation planning, and community outreach for a three‑year period with two optional one‑year extensions. Submissions must include a detailed statement of qualifications and a cost proposal, delivered both electronically and in five hard‑copy sets by the Feb 27 deadline. Evaluation will be based on qualifications, work plan, required statements, and presentation quality, with priority given to NBOA‑certified firms.
