The Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a multiple award indefinite delivery contract to Rich Ranch LLC of Missoula, Montana. The contract has a potential value of $300,000 and aims to procure various wilderness horse trips through January 2023 for the Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center.
One task order issued against the contract was a $1,000 firm fixed price delivery order for cancellation of wilderness trips at Rich Ranch due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the order cancelled a short horse trip that had been planned for the Center's annual week-long wilderness leadership training course. This course provides wilderness management training to federal employees from agencies including the Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Field trips conducted as part of the course help trainees gain experience in wilderness settings.
The original solicitation sought proposals for outfitter and guide services to lead different types of 3-day/2-night field trips as part of the leadership training, including horse packing, backpacking, drop camp, llama packing, and river/lake float trips. The contract aims to support the Center's mission of training wilderness managers and protectors on federal lands.
