R--HOOF TRIMMING FOR WILD HORSES

The Bureau of Land Management Idaho State Office is soliciting hoof trimming services for wild horses under solicitation number L15PS01206. This procurement is designated as an SBA (SBA) set-aside and is classified under NAICS 115210 Support Activities for Animal Production and PSC R. The primary performance location is the Bruneau Off Range Corrals, a new facility where the resident horses are already accustomed to a feedlot environment.

Work requirements include providing all necessary tools, as the government will not supply the grinders or blades required for the trimming. Because many horses received at the Bruneau facility have recently maintained hooves, the frequency of trimming services may be reduced during the first six months of the performance period. A pre-bid conference was held on October 15, 2015, to provide clarification on these service expectations and facility conditions.

Responses to this solicitation are due by October 23, 2015. Proposals must be mailed or delivered to the Bureau of Land Management at 1387 S. Vinnell Way in Boise; bids delivered directly to the Bruneau Off Range Corral Facility will not be accepted. Diane Barker is the designated point of contact for this notice, which includes three attachments containing additional information hosted on FedConnect.
