About this forecast
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is procuring off-range holding pastures to provide long-term care and containment of wild horses and burros removed from public lands.

The solicitation is estimated to release on July 15, 2026, with an anticipated award date of October 1, 2026.
The contract value is estimated between $100 million and $249 million, with a performance period extending from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2035. The place of performance is Colorado, USA. Interested parties should contact Anne Ebbers, Branch Chief of Natural and Community Resources for the Eastern States Office, at aebbers@blm.gov for additional information regarding this new requirement.
Forecast text
The BLM must care for all wild horses and burros it removes from the range until title is transferred to another entity. The BLM contracts off-range pastures to provide long-term holding of wild horses at a lower cost than off-range corrals. The animals in off-range pastures are generally undesirable for private care placement, either due to age or temperament. Due to expiring contracts, the BLM seeks to acquire 12,000 pasture spaces.
