About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for Solicitation #140P6426Q0036, Amendment #P00001, for Livestock Wrangling Services at Valle de los Fuegos (VALL), issued by the National Park Service. The document does not address specific products, services, pricing, or award information, but rather clarifies operational policies and contract terms for potential bidders.
Key clarifications provided address firearms authorization, alcohol consumption, insurance and bonding requirements, and pricing terminology. Firearms are authorized at campsites in accordance with New Mexico State Firearm Laws, though federal law prohibits them in government buildings such as visitor centers and office buildings. Alcohol is authorized in the park and at campsites, subject to all federal and state laws governing consumption and intoxication. Regarding the Park Special Use Permit for camping at Banco Bonito, the Superintendent does not require liability insurance or a bond, as conditions #9 and #10 in the permit are marked "If Required." The pricing schedule uses "LS" (Lump Sum) based on biweekly trips of 2 days each, totaling 12 trips or 24 days during the performance period (May 15, 2026 through May 14, 2027). Will Call pricing is calculated at 1.5 times the biweekly amount (for example, if biweekly pricing is $2,000 for 2 days, a Will Call would be $3,000).
