SUMMARY: Magnolia Ranch Sheep Grazing

SUMBIT QUOTES TO: michael_anson@ios.doi.gov

All responses to this notice must be In

Accordance With (IAW) the attached

Solicitation, Contract Clauses, Specifications, Requirements, Provisions, Terms, and

Conditions.

This will be firm fixed purchase order

Include all Shipping and/or Travel costs in the current line items

F.O.B. DESTINATION

Period of Performance (POP) is 05/01/2026 -

04/30/2031

1. If more than 500 animals are used for the project, would compensation increase accordingly, or is payment capped at the rate associated with 500 animals?

The contractor will offer a price of 500 sheep.

Payment is capped at the rate offered for 500 sheep.

2. The contract term is listed as 12 months. Is grazing required to occur specifically between

May 1 and August 31, or may the three-month grazing period occur at any time within the

12-month contract period?

There is an actual period of performance for three months of grazing annually which typically starts in May of each year and ends three months from that date. The start date is based on discussions with BLM on vegetation growth and rainfall for that given year. This year for example, things are earlier than usual so grazing could be approved to begin sooner than May. The months grazed are three contiguous months.

3. Is the contractor required to complete grazing on the full 130 acres, or is it only the acreage that a herd of approximately 500 animals can reasonably complete within the specified grazing period?

The contractor is required to graze all 130 acres at Magnolia Ranch. The Performance Work

Statement says ¿approximately 130 acres¿ because it was calculated using GIS acreages of open grassland areas at Magnolia Ranch on an aerial map which may not be precise.

4. Would it be possible to request an exception for livestock guardian dogs to be leashed from

30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset? Leashing or restraining the dogs would prevent them from performing their working function and could compromise the safety of the animals.

The Performance Work Statement has been revised and that requirement has been removed. Please use the revised copy of PWS.

5. Is there a current incumbent contractor performing these services? If so, could you provide the current contract or award number so we may reference it?

Star Creek Land Stewards, Inc. held the past contract (140L1223P0019) at Magnolia Ranch from

2023-2025.

6. Is the Performance Work Statement provided in the solicitation of the complete and final

PWS, or are there additional attachments or specifications that will be provided?

The Performance Work Statement was the final copy; however, it was revised and re-posted with updated information. There are no additional attachments to being provided.

Please use the revised copy.

7. Is the Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage

Determination applicable to this contract? If so, could you provide the applicable wage

8. Is past performance a formal evaluation factor for this award? If so, how many references will be required?

Past performance will be reviewed through CPARS to confirm no negative performance from previous contracts. No formal references are required.

9. PWS lists property and fire damage insurance at $100,000 minimum. Could you confirm this figure is correct?

Yes, this amount is correct.

10. PWS references both sheep and goats interchangeably in several sections. Could you confirm whether goats are an acceptable substitute or supplement to sheep for this contract?

The Performance Work Statement has been revised and goats were removed. We are asking for sheep only to avoid damaging young, native trees which goats can climb and cause more damage to than sheep.
