About this opportunity

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Correctional Facilities issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the procurement of nine premium full-blooded pedigree registered Angus bulls valued at $85,000 for the Lompoc Farm's cow-calf cattle operation. The sole source justification was necessary due to operational changes and urgent breeding needs that required the agency to negotiate directly with a vendor rather than conduct a full competitive bidding process. Market research indicated that potential auction vendors were unwilling to register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov), and the specific requirements for bull age and genetics significantly limited the available vendor pool. The contract was awarded on November 24, 2025 to an unknown vendor, with the agency planning to post a Request for Information on SAM.gov to identify alternative vendors for future procurements and to compare proposed prices against local auction averages to ensure fair pricing. This procurement falls under the Beef Cattle Ranching and Farming NAICS category (112111) and is classified under the Live Animals, Not Raised For Food PSC category (8820).
