Delta WH&B Facility Hay

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Region is soliciting quotations for the procurement of 350 tons of weed-free alfalfa hay for the Delta Wild Horse and Burro (WH&B) Facility. The hay must be from the 2025 harvest, domestically grown, leafy, green, well-cured, and free from dust, mold, and weeds, with bales measuring 3' x 3' x 8', 3' x 4' x 8', or 4' x 4' x 8'. This is a firm-fixed-price, single award contract with a performance period from award through January 31, 2026. The BLM will evaluate all quotations using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, meaning the government will select the lowest-priced quotation that meets all technical specifications. The deadline for submission of quotes is December 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, with questions due by December 9, 2025. The Contracting Officer is Tori Blunt Mayes, and the Contracting Officer's Representative is Trent Staheli.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard of $2.5 million under NAICS code 111940 (Hay Farming). The hay will be delivered to the Delta WH&B Facility in Delta, Utah (Millard County), with delivery windows including December 2025 through January 31, 2026 (Monday through Friday during January). Deliveries will be unloaded using government-furnished equipment, including a telehandler capable of moving 3 bales at a time and a skid steer capable of moving 2 bales at a time. Hay will be stacked in a barn with specifications of 8 bales wide by 6 bales high, and the facility will inspect all hay upon delivery. Contractors have the flexibility to submit partial invoices or a single final invoice, and any equipment malfunctions will be addressed through discussions or potential contract modifications.
