About this award
The National Park Service Intermountain Region awarded a $11.5K firm fixed-price purchase order to Birkenholz Stock Farm, a small agricultural cooperative based in Hopkins, Missouri, on March 10, 2026, with completion targeted for September 11, 2026. This total small business set-aside contract calls for the supply of pack mules to support operational needs at Glacier National Park. Birkenholz Stock Farm, operated by Louis Birkenholz and registered in the System for Award Management since 2008, specializes in providing halter-broke, two-year-old mules to federal land management agencies for wilderness and backcountry operations.
The award reflects an ongoing vendor relationship between Birkenholz Stock Farm and the National Park Service, with the company having secured multiple purchase orders totaling approximately $64K between 2021 and 2025 for similar mule procurement efforts across the Park Service and U.S. Forest Service Northern Region. As a self-certified small disadvantaged business, the contractor maintains a consistent focus on providing high-quality pack animals essential for park operations in remote and rugged terrain. The firm fixed-price structure and small business set-aside designation underscore the government's commitment to supporting small enterprises in specialized niches within federal procurement.
