Haythorn Ranch Co

Haythorn Ranch Co, based in Maxwell, Nebraska, operates as a prime contractor delivering off-range pasture management and wild horse and burro care services exclusively to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation. The company is a for-profit corporate entity with zero subcontract footprint, operating entirely within NAICS 112920 (Support Activities for Animal Production) and PSC N09 (Natural Resources/Conservation - Wildhorse/Burro Control).

Haythorn Ranch Co's customer concentration is absolute — all nine awards in the source data are funded by the BLM's National Office, representing $19.7 million in combined potential value. The vendor places all work under a single parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract 140L0120D0016, established in April 2021 with a $12.49 million ceiling. Eight task orders have been issued under this IDIQ since its inception, with annual awards reflecting consistent growth from approximately $331,000 in fiscal 2021 to $1.31 million in the most recent fiscal 2026 delivery order. The most recent award — a $1.31 million firm fixed-price delivery order issued September 24, 2026, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027 — continues the vendor's stable annual task-order cycle established in October 2021.

Haythorn Ranch Co's capability scope is narrowly specialized: comprehensive care and maintenance of off-range pastures and animal husbandry for wild horses and burros removed from public lands, performed at the company's facility in Maxwell, Nebraska. Recent representative work includes a $965,819 delivery order (January 16, 2026, through September 30, 2026) and a $1.22 million delivery order (October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024), both for identical off-range pasture services under the same parent IDIQ.

Activity has been flat across the past five years — one award per year in 2022 through 2025, with two awards in 2026 — though dollar values per task order have grown year over year. One award ($1.31 million) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor carries no subcontract relationships and operates with no identified teammates on the BLM vehicle. Haythorn Ranch Co's revenue concentration and narrow customer base create high dependency on the BLM's single IDIQ and its annual recompete cycle; the $12.49 million vehicle ceiling constrains growth unless the vendor pursues additional federal customers or wins awards on vehicles outside the source data.
