About this award
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), California Region, awarded a $410,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to John C Barnum, doing business as Barnum Land & Cattle (UEI: D1SJWMA6EG93), on April 1, 2026, for the procurement and delivery of 2,000 tons of alfalfa hay to support the Litchfield Wild Horse and Burro Facility in Litchfield, California. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 111940 (Hay Farming), requires delivery of two distinct hay types: 1,000 tons in small 3-twine bales weighing 100-130 pounds each, and 1,000 tons in large 34 bales weighing 1,200-1,500 pounds each. All hay must be sourced from 2025/2026 domestic crops, sun-cured, maintain crude protein levels between 12-18 percent, and be certified free of mold, dust, weeds, and contaminants. The performance period extends from April 1, 2026, through November 30, 2026, with F.O.B. Destination delivery to Highway 395 East in Litchfield, California.
Deliveries are restricted to weekday hours between 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the contractor must provide three workdays' advance notice to the Contracting Officer's Representative with each shipment. The contractor bears responsibility for all offloading equipment and shipping costs, included in the firm fixed-price quotation, and must submit state-certified weight tickets with each delivery. Given the facility's 800-ton barn capacity and animal consumption rates, the contractor may be required to adjust delivery schedules or bale configurations based on operational needs. The solicitation was evaluated on price alone, with offerors required to maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and acceptable Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) records.
