About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded an 8(a) sole source contract to Stacy G. Hikes on May 9, 2026, for $20,000 to establish and operate a Satellite Adoption Center in Pennsylvania for training and placing wild horses and burros.
The award was made under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) authority. The facility will serve adopters across the Northeast, Midwest, and Southeast and provide public outreach and education while freeing holding capacity at the Double Devil Wild Horse and Burro Corrals for newly gathered animals. The vendor possesses six years of experience as a Forest Service satellite pickup location and more than 20 years training mustangs and burros; the facility has passed inspections by both the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management without deficiencies. The Forest Service identified the vendor as uniquely qualified under its Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program standards for federal protected animals. This is designated as a pilot program; the agency intends to add additional vendors and geographic locations in future iterations to preclude future sole source awards.
