Animal Disposal Services

The Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region is soliciting a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement for carcass disposal services for deceased horses, burros, and foals at the Palomino Valley Wild Horse and Burro Center in Reno, Nevada. The contractor must provide disposal services within 24 hours of notification through either drop-off services at a contractor-operated location within 30 miles of the facility or pickup services directly from the PVC during normal business hours. Contractors must hold all necessary licenses and permits for large animal disposal and submit detailed documentation through the Invoice Processing Platform with monthly invoicing for actual services rendered. The government will evaluate proposals on a best value basis using a trade-off process that considers technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical and past performance factors being more important than price. Questions are due by August 14, 2025, and proposals must be submitted by August 21, 2025, at 1:00 PM PT.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 562219 (Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal) with a size standard of $47 million. Each individual BPA call order is capped at $100,000, though no guaranteed minimum or maximum service volume is specified in the contract terms. The performance period spans from September 20, 2025, through April 30, 2030, with annual funding cycles and unused funds being deobligated at the end of each contract year. Services will be performed at or in connection with the Palomino Valley Wild Horse and Burro Center facility in Reno, Nevada, with contractors required to either maintain disposal facilities within a 30-mile radius or provide pickup services directly from the government location. The BPA structure allows for flexible ordering based on actual disposal needs throughout the five-year contract period.
