The performance of services is tied to the event in Salmon, ID, which the trail crew will attend from April 10-11, 2026. The anticipated award price is less than $50,000, depending on the animals selected. The government will inspect animals at the event, with all sales processed through the specified vendor. This notice is not a request for quotations.

This is a Sources Sought Notice for market research only, not a solicitation for quotes.

The mules must meet specific minimum requirements, including health, size, age, and training standards. Interested businesses, particularly small businesses, are asked to submit a 2-page Capability Statement demonstrating their ability to provide suitable mules. Responses are due by email by March 2, 2026.
