Notice of Sole Source Intent

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.

The Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Regional Office intends to award a contract for Law Enforcement Patrol services to the Broadwater County Sheriff Office for Canyon Ferry Reservoir, structures, and land located in Broadwater County, Montana. Reclamation has authority to establish contracts with local law enforcement agencies to enforce state and local regulations, as appropriate. Reclamation has found the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office to be the only source with full arrest authority in Broadwater to successfully complete the required law enforcement and patrol services.

The resulting contract will be for a 12 month base period, and include 4 additional 12-month option periods.

Since Reclamation believes that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the agency's requirements, a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition is being prepared. The Government anticipates award around on or around November 14, 2016; services to begin December 1, 2016. Vendors that have questions regarding the sole source nature of the requirement or vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer.
