About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 1 (Northern Region), awarded an $29,000.25 firm fixed-price purchase order to Bidlake Ranch, a small business sole proprietorship based in Missoula, Montana, on August 1, 2025. This total small business set-aside contract requires the delivery and stacking of approximately 75 tons of weed-free certified hay to the Ninevile Ranger Station in Huson, Montana, by September 12, 2025. The hay must meet strict quality specifications, including small square bales weighing 70–80 pounds and produced in 2025, and be free of mold, dirt, dust, and rain damage. The hay will supply feed for government horses and mules operated by the Ninemile Ranger District within Lolo National Forest.
Bidlake Ranch, operated by Steve Bidlake and registered in the System for Award Management since August 2004, has established a specialized focus on providing high-quality hay to the USDA Forest Service. This award represents part of an ongoing relationship between the contractor and the federal government, with Bidlake Ranch having successfully fulfilled similar contracts for hay delivery to the same location in prior years. The contract specification for straight grass or alfalfa/grass mix hay reflects the Forest Service's specific operational needs for maintaining its pack animals and supporting land management activities across the Northern Region's forestry operations.
