THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The Bureau of Land Management is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to identify dairy farms and ranches with the capability and interest to provide temporary housing and care for cattle displaced by recent wildland fires.

This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment for procurement.

BACKGROUND Recent wildland fires have significantly impacted ranchers, creating an urgent need for alternative, short and long term cattle housing.

The Government is seeking information on facilities that can provide safe, compliant, and reliable support for affected livestock for an estimated period of up to two years.

REQUESTED INFORMATION Respondents are asked to provide detailed information regarding their capabilities, including: * Holding capacity (number and type of livestock that can be supported) * Timeframe and length of availability * Animal type preferences (steers, heifers, cows, bred cattle, bulls) * Location and description of facilities * Import requirements and required health certifications * Feed availability * Ability to provide feed onsite or support purchase/transportation * Capacity to store feed on site * Animal health requirements and standards maintained * Ability to separate or isolate cattle from existing herds as required * Veterinary support availability * Identification as a dairy farm or ranch operation ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This RFI is solely intended to gather information.

No solicitation is anticipated to be issued, and no contract is anticipated to be awarded as a direct result of this notice.

Information received may be shared with impacted ranchers and others, who may independently contact respondents if a need arises.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
