F -- WILD HORSE TEMPORARY HOLDING FACILITY SOL NAR000051 DUE 062000 POC Ms. Marty Coffey, Procurement Technician,(303)236-9439 The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has a requirement for a Temporary Holding Facility for 750 to 1,000 Wild Horses. The contractor shall provide all land, forage and/or feed, salt, minerals, and other related labor, materials, equipment, and supplies necessary to maintain these animals in a safe and humane manner. As these animals will be transported from the Western States to the Eastern, Northern, and Southern States, the BLM needs a facility in the mid-west to provide a half-way rest stop for the animals in one of the following Mid-Western States: Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, or Oklahoma. The Temporary Holding Facility will be either corrals/pens large enough to hold 1,000 wild horses (at least 400 square per animal), or pasture lands to provide adequate forage for 1,000 wild horses. It is anticipated that animals will be shipped in and out of this facility on a regular basis -- therefore the facility's animal population should stay at approximately 1,000 head. It is anticipated that the government will award a contract for one year plus 4 option years. Solicitation Number NAR000051 is scheduled to be issued on or about May 12, 2000. This requirement is 100% set-aside for small business under SIC 8999 (average annual receipts for the preceding 3 fiscal years not to exceed $5 million). Potential offerors may request a copy of this solicitation in writing only. Requests may also be transmitted by FAX to (303) 236-9470. No telephone requests will be honored. Posted 04/19/00 (W-SN446692). (0110)
