About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Division of Wild Horses & Burros. The agency seeks to award a 12-month bridge contract for off-range corral care services from 9/25/2025 to 9/24/2026, continuing the services of an existing IDIQ contract (140L0620C0053). The contract will provide care for a specific number of horses, with the estimated total cost redacted in the document. BLM is pursuing this bridge contract while simultaneously drafting a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for off-range corral services, with the goal of making multiple awards in 2026.
The justification highlights that no existing facilities are currently available to receive all the animals, and the bridge contract is necessary to continue corral space and animal care until new facilities are secured. The agency notes that relocating the animals would be costly (estimated at $250,000) and could create health risks. BLM plans to establish a new RFP for future off-range corral services with an estimated award date in Spring 2026, and the bridge contract will provide sufficient time to complete this procurement process while ensuring continuous care for the horses.
