Indefinite Delivery Contract INL15PC00023

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM) National Office awarded Vestring Ranch, a for-profit partnership, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a ceiling value of $19,013,640 to provide a variety of services supporting DOI-BLM's mission of protecting and managing wild horses and burros on public lands. Under this IDC, Vestring Ranch has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders since 2015 to establish, operate, and maintain off-range holding facilities, including pastures, corrals, and long-term holding sites in Cassoday, Kansas. These delivery orders, totaling over $9 million, have funded services such as providing grazing and pasture for livestock removed from federal lands, constructing and maintaining corrals, and operating long-term holding facilities for wild horses and burros. The IDC and associated delivery orders do not utilize any set-aside designations, with Vestring Ranch consistently serving as the prime contractor.

The contracted services directly support DOI-BLM's requirements for safely containing and caring for wild horses and burros that have been removed from public lands. Vestring Ranch's ongoing relationship and performance under this IDC underscores its critical role in assisting the agency with its wild land management responsibilities. The firm fixed-price delivery order structure and lack of set-asides indicate DOI-BLM's confidence in Vestring Ranch's ability to reliably provide these essential services.
