R--HOOF TRIMMING FOR WILD HORSES

The Bureau of Land Management Idaho State Office is soliciting hoof trimming services for wild horses under solicitation L15PS01206. This requirement is categorized under NAICS 115210 Support Activities for Animal Production and PSC code R. The opportunity is designated as an SBA SBA set-aside. Services are performed at the Bruneau Off Range Corrals, a facility where horses have been transferred from other holding areas and are already accustomed to a feedlot environment.

The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment, including grinders and blades. Because many horses arriving at the new Bruneau facility have recently maintained hooves, the government anticipates that the volume of hoof trimming services may be reduced during the first six months of the initial performance year. Documentation for this opportunity includes three attachments posted to FedConnect between October 2 and October 16, 2015.

The response deadline for this solicitation is October 23, 2015, and Diane Barker is the designated point of contact. Although a pre-bid conference was held on October 15, 2015, at the Bruneau facility to provide clarifications, all formal proposals must be mailed or dropped off at the 1387 S. Vinnell Way address in Boise. Bids delivered to the Bruneau Off Range Corral Facility will not be accepted.
