About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 1 (Northern Region), awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Sieben Ranch Co on January 21, 2026, for the supply of large hay bales to support livestock operations at the Ninemile Ranger District on the Lolo National Forest in Montana. The contract, valued at $49,560, requires delivery of 236 tons of hay meeting strict quality specifications—including production and baling in 2025, freedom from mold and dust, and no prior weather exposure—in either large round bales (1,000–1,300 pounds) or large square bales (1,000–1,700 pounds). The hay will be used for feeding government horses and mules, with all deliveries required by February 13, 2026, to the Ninemile Ranger Station hay barns in Huson, Montana, during standard business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, excluding federal holidays).
This acquisition was designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under the small business size standard of $2.5 million, limiting competition to qualified small business concerns. The award followed a comparative evaluation process outlined in the original Request for Quotation (RFQ 1284LM26Q0006) issued on December 18, 2025, which assessed technical approach, past performance, and pricing. Sieben Ranch Co was selected as the best-value offeror among competing small businesses, demonstrating its capability to meet the Forest Service's hay supply requirements for regional livestock operations.
