The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM) National Office awarded Pioneer, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Hepler, Kansas, a 5-year, $5.5 million indefinite delivery contract in November 2020 to provide off-range pastures and comprehensive care services for the agency's Wild Horse and Burro Program. This multiple-award contract facilitates the issuance of annual firm-fixed price task orders to Pioneer for pasturing excess wild horses and burros, administering feed and medical care, and associated handling services. These task orders, valued between $300,000 to $540,000 annually, support the BLM's herd management and welfare objectives across its public rangeland territories by allowing Pioneer to establish and maintain dedicated off-site facilities in Hepler to accommodate animals relocated from overpopulated grazing areas. The contract has no set-aside designations and was competitively awarded to assist the BLM's population control efforts under its jurisdiction. Through November 2024, the BLM will issue Pioneer delivery orders annually to continue providing off-range pasturing, feeding, handling, and health management for the wild horse and burro herds. This contract ensures Pioneer can maintain the necessary infrastructure and resources to assist the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Program in protecting and managing free-roaming equine populations on public lands within the DOI's purview.
