Indefinite Delivery Contract INL15PC00021

The federal contract IDV award is for the provision of off-range pasture (ORP) services and long-term holding facilities for wild horses and burros managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). The prime contractor, Doyle Richards, a sole proprietorship, has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery order contracts under this single-award IDV to support the DOI-BLM's wild horse and burro management programs. These contracts, ranging in value from $67,394 to over $300,000, typically have 1-year periods of performance, with some spanning multiple years through exercised option periods. The work is performed at Richards' facilities located in Tingley, Iowa and Nowata, Oklahoma. This IDV does not carry any set-aside designations. Through these contracts, Richards provides pasturing, long-term holding, and related services to the DOI-BLM to manage wild horse and burro populations off public rangelands.

The current IDV, awarded in 2015, has a ceiling value of $12,148,883 and a period of performance through June 2025. As the prime contractor, Richards has received numerous delivery orders over the past decade to continue supporting the DOI-BLM's wild horse and burro management initiatives through the provision of off-range pasturing and long-term holding services. These contracted services are critical to the agency's efforts to maintain healthy wild herds and protect public lands by removing excess animals and providing for their welfare in private care.
