Vestring Ranch

Vestring Ranch is a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership based in Cassoday, Kansas, that has been registered in SAM.gov since September 2009. The entity specializes in providing off-range pasture and holding facility services for wild horses and burros as part of the federal government's land management initiatives. Through its federal contract awards, Vestring Ranch has established itself as a critical service provider supporting the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management in managing wild horse and burro populations removed from public lands across the western United States.

Since 2019, Vestring Ranch has accumulated over $9 million in federal contract awards from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management National Office, demonstrating consistent engagement and expertise in specialized facility management. The contractor's service offerings include establishing and maintaining holding facilities, providing pasture services for both short-term and long-term holding, operating off-range corrals, and supporting the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Program. All delivery order contracts awarded to Vestring Ranch have been structured as firm fixed-price contracts with no set-aside designations, reflecting the contractor's status as a qualified provider meeting full and open competition standards. Recent delivery orders include a $1.18 million contract awarded on December 19, 2025, for off-range pasture services with completion scheduled for June 30, 2026; a $2.29 million delivery order awarded on June 30, 2025; and a $1.13 million contract awarded on September 24, 2024, for long-term holding facility operations. The contractor has also fulfilled multiple contracts for off-range pasture services spanning 183-day periods, off-range corral construction and maintenance, and long-term holding facility operations throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024, with all work performed at the Cassoday, Kansas facility.

Vesting Ranch holds a significant Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Bureau of Land Management on August 22, 2025, with a $700 million ceiling value and a performance period extending through June 30, 2035. This multiple award IDIQ contract, issued under RFP 140L0125R0001, was designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to small businesses and recognizing Vestring Ranch's small business status. The contract serves as the master vehicle for off-range pasture services supporting the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Program, encompassing services such as off-range pasture operations, long-term holding facilities, and off-range corral services across 14 states. Several delivery orders have already been issued against this IDIQ vehicle, including a $10,000 minimum guarantee delivery order awarded on August 28, 2025, demonstrating the contract's active utilization. This IDIQ structure allows the BLM to issue task orders on an as-needed basis, providing flexibility in managing wild horse and burro populations while ensuring Vestring Ranch maintains the specialized infrastructure and expertise required for these critical federal land management operations.
