This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification and Approval document for acquisitions under Simplified Acquisition Procedures submitted by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Division of Wild Horses & Burros.
The BLM requests to award a one-year bridge contract to G&R Livestock Inc. effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 to continue off-range corral services under the existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract 140L0620D0066, which expires September 30, 2025. The services include care, feed, and preparation of horses for adoption while a new IDIQ contract is being established. The estimated total contract value is redacted in the document. The acquisition is authorized under 41 U.S.C. 1901 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures), with the Independent Government Estimate exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold but remaining under the $7.5 million limit. The justification states that no other existing pasture or corral facilities currently have the capacity to provide equivalent services, and new market research was not conducted as the one-year bridge is necessary to allow time for the new IDIQ to be established. The BLM plans to issue a new RFP for future off-range corral services with an estimated award date of Spring 2026. The document was certified by Contracting Officer Heath Moore, reviewed by Kirsten Cortés-Bernard (BLM Headquarters Acquisitions, Chief of the Contracting Office), and approved by Competition Advocate Melissa Hutchison.
