About this file
This document is a Virtual Fence Specifications statement for a federal procurement by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support cattle grazing in post-wildfire areas of southern Idaho.
The procurement requires supply, delivery, setup, licensing, and two-year maintenance of a virtual fencing solution for two operators managing 345 head of cattle in Big Lake Pasture, Blackstone Allotment. The system must include animal-worn GPS-enabled virtual fence devices (VFDs) and/or base stations, along with desktop or mobile software for device management. Virtual Fence Devices must be adjustable for various animal sizes, operate without full-time cellular coverage using solar and/or battery power, function in remote and rugged terrain, provide humane stimulus through auditory and electronic cues, and support simultaneous implementation of multiple virtual fence lines with capability to manage multiple animal groups across multiple jurisdictions with schedule flexibility. If base stations are utilized, they must operate without full-time cell phone coverage or electricity using solar and battery power, maintain minimum 5-day operation during reduced sunlight, cover 5,000-10,000 acres depending on topography, communicate with VFDs to provide cattle location data and remote programming for grazing area changes, apply stimuli to influence cattle movement, provide GPS tracking capabilities, maintain battery life of six months or greater, and be mounted on BLM trailers. The system is not required to connect to government IT systems. The vendor must provide continued product training, support, and troubleshooting throughout the contract period.

Virtual Fence Specifications
Description:
This specification is for a virtual fencing solution to allow two operators, with a total of 345 head of cattle, to graze post-wildfire in unburned portions of Big Lake Pasture, Blackstone Allotment in southern Idaho (map below). Virtual fence service is required throughout the entire pasture for two years. This procurement is for supply, delivery, set up, licensing and maintenance of a virtual fencing solution that may include base stations and/or animal-worn GPS-enabled virtual fence devices (VFD), and software supported by a desktop or mobile device for management of the VFDs. The virtual fence system must have continued product training, support, and troubleshooting. Fence system networks and software are not required to connect to government IT systems.
Virtual Fence Device Requirements
- VFDs must be adjustable to fit a variety of animal sizes.
- VFDs must work without full-time cellular network coverage. Power must be provided by solar and/or battery.
- VFDs must work in remote and rugged terrain.
- VFDs must provide humane stimulus, through auditory and electronic cues, to manage animals.
- VFDs must support simultaneous implementation of multiple virtual fence lines.
Devices must allow management of multiple groups of animals across multiple jurisdictions/properties with schedule flexibility.
If base stations are utilized, they must meet the following requirements:
- System must work without full-time cell phone coverage or electricity. Power must be provided by solar and battery. The system must be capable of operating with a minimum of 5 days with reduced sunlight.
- Base stations must work in remote and rugged terrain and require little or no maintenance.
- Base stations must cover 5,000-10,000 acres depending on topography.
- Base stations must communicate with VFDs to provide data for cattle location and change of grazing area through remote programming.
- System must interface with the VFDs and be able to apply stimuli to influence cattle movement, provide GPS tracking capabilities and maintain battery life of 6 months or greater.
- Base stations will be mounted on BLM trailers.
