Matthew Bischof

Matthew Bischof, operating as Mustang Matt, is a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Hamilton, Montana, specializing in horse placement, training, and care services primarily for the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since March 25, 2019, with a registration expiration of February 8, 2026, Bischof has established himself as a key contractor supporting federal wildlife management efforts. His business focuses on providing critical services related to the management, training, and placement of wild horses and burros across western states.

Throughout his federal contracting history, Bischof has consistently worked with the BLM Montana-Dakotas Region, exclusively providing horse-related services through Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts. These services have included horse placement, training clinics, feeding, and care services directly supporting the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Program, which manages over 80,000 wild horses and burros across ten western states. Each contract has been awarded on a firm fixed price basis, with values ranging from $7,040 to $115,050. Notably, none of these contracts involved small business set-aside designations, and all were focused on supporting the humane management and placement of wild horses removed from public lands.

Matthew Bischof holds two significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs), both single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the BLM Montana-Dakotas Region. The first BPA, awarded on August 20, 2020, had a ceiling value of $999,999 and allowed task orders through August 2023, while the more recent BPA, awarded on July 25, 2024, has a $500,000 ceiling and runs through July 2027. These IDVs enable the issuance of task orders for Wild Horse and Burro holding, clinician, and training services, with individual task orders ranging from $7,040 to $115,050. The contracts consistently support the BLM's objectives of managing and caring for wild horses and burros across western public lands, with Bischof providing specialized services from his base in Billings, Montana.
