Vestring Ranch

Vestring Ranch, a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership based in Cassoday, Kansas, operates as a prime contractor providing off-range pasture services, long-term holding facilities, and corral operations for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse and Burro Program. The vendor competes exclusively under a total small business set-aside designation on its primary IDIQ vehicle and places nearly all work under firm fixed-price delivery orders against Department of Interior contracts, with minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

Vestring Ranch's federal footprint is vertically concentrated. The Bureau of Land Management National Office accounts for 26 of 29 total awards and $748.5 million in combined potential value across the past several years; the remaining three awards derive from the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters and Fish and Wildlife Service regional offices. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor — no subcontract relationships appear in the award record. Primary NAICS coding is 115210 (Support Activities for Animal Production) and PSC F016 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Wildhorse/Burro Control).

Vestring Ranch's capacity is anchored to a single large IDIQ vehicle: the Off-Range Pasture Services—Wild Horse and Burro Program multiple-award IDIQ, awarded August 22, 2025, with a $700 million ceiling extending through June 30, 2035 as a total small business set-aside. Three delivery orders issued against this vehicle to date carry combined potential value of $3.7 million. The vendor also places task orders under Indefinite Delivery Contract INL15PC00023, which has generated 20 task orders with $21.8 million in combined potential value. Delivery orders under the primary IDIQ include a $2.481 million order awarded July 28, 2026 (scheduled for completion June 30, 2027), a $1.182 million order awarded December 19, 2025 (completion June 30, 2026), and a $2.297 million order awarded June 30, 2025 (completion June 30, 2026). All work is performed at the Cassoday, Kansas facility, with services delivered across 14 states.

Activity averaged roughly 2.4 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with uptick to four awards in 2025 reflecting the August 2025 IDIQ award and subsequent task orders. Only one award is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months — a $2.5 million order — creating minimal recompete cliff exposure. Combined dollars obligated represent only 4% of combined potential value, reflecting the firm fixed-price structure and the early phase of the multi-year IDIQ performance period running through 2035.

This company provides ranching and raising of beef cattle and horses.
