Adequate infrastructure for horse fencing, paddocks, quarantine areas, and training facilities, with provisions for pasture management and water retention. All-weather access roads and reliable utilities, including electricity and water supply. Suitable stables and barns equipped with ventilation, lighting, insulation, and environmental controls, meeting equestrian standards for safety and comfort. RESPONSE TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT: Respondents should submit written expressions of interest via email to Bryan Gordy at bryan.p.gordy@usace.army.mil referencing this sources sought notice number (DACA31-R-24-0279) in the subject line.
