WH&B Sutherland & Delta ORC Veterinarian Services

The Bureau of Land Management Utah Region is soliciting veterinary services for wild horse and burro facilities under Solicitation Number 140L5726Q0013 using simplified acquisition procedures. The contract requires on-an-as-needed veterinary care for large animals (horses and burros) at the Sutherland Off-Range Corral and Delta Wild Horse & Burro Corral in Millard County, Utah, with services including farm calls, emergency care with a one-hour response requirement, Coggins testing, castration, health certificates, corral inspections, and microchipping. Offerors must demonstrate Utah veterinary licensure for primary, backup, and emergency veterinarians, and provide evidence of at least one year of large animal experience within the past three years. Evaluation will be based on three factors: Technical Capability (Pass/Fail), Past Performance (weighted as more important than Price), and Price, using a tradeoff methodology. Proposals are due April 14, 2026, by 12:00 PM Mountain Time, with questions required to be submitted by March 31, 2026.

This is a Total Small Business set-aside contract that represents a continuation of predecessor contract 140L5721C0004. The base contract period runs from April 21, 2026, through April 20, 2027, with four optional one-year extensions available through April 20, 2031, with an anticipated exercise date of March 1 for each option year. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price service agreement with an estimated value of $20,000 annually for the base year and all four option years, totaling $100,000 over the five-year period, though miscellaneous services are capped at $20,000 annually and require prior approval. Services will be performed at the Sutherland Off-Range Corral (a 1,500-horse capacity privately owned facility) and the Delta Wild Horse & Burro Corral (a 300-animal capacity BLM-owned facility), with estimated annual animal volume of 3,000 requiring various veterinary services.
