View moreThe U.S. Geological Survey has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation under solicitation number 140G0326Q0089 for pack animal support and wrangler services to facilitate wilderness fieldwork in Multnomah, Oregon. This requirement is designated as an SBA Small Business Administration set-aside under NAICS 115210: Support Activities for Animal Production and PSC W088: LEASE OR RENTAL OF EQUIPMENT- LIVE ANIMALS. The primary objective is to provide pack animals and a wrangler to transport gear for geologists between the Wahtum Lake trailhead and camping locations in the Benson Plateau area, which is approximately five to six miles by trail.
The contracted wrangler is responsible for delivering and off-loading gear at the destination camp and returning at the end of each trip for pickup; the wrangler is not required to remain at the camp, provide riding animals, cook, or assist with setting up and breaking down gear. The geologists will hike into the wilderness independently. The project consists of three anticipated trips tentatively scheduled for August, with any schedule modifications requiring at least seven days’ notice. Contract performance is contingent upon the trails being cleared by third parties to a condition passable for pack animals, as the contractor is not expected to perform significant trail clearing.
Quotes for this opportunity are due by April 22, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PT, as established in the first amendment to the solicitation. Elizabeth Adam is the designated point of contact for this notice. Technical documentation for this requirement includes the original solicitation and one amendment, which was published on April 20, 2026, to address vendor questions regarding trailer accessibility at the trailhead, invoicing per individual trip, and gear delivery logistics.
