The National Park Service's Intermountain Region awarded a $418,971.71 firm fixed-price purchase order to Diamond N II LLC on August 28, 2025, for comprehensive fiber internet services at Old Faithful and West Thumb areas within Yellowstone National Park. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, requires installation of several miles of underground single-mode fiber optic cable connections to support local area networks across multiple NPS facilities, including the Ranger Station, Fresh Water facility, Wastewater Treatment Plant, employee quarters, Emergency Services, and West Thumb Visitor Center. The technical scope encompasses dark fiber backhaul, zero-mile connections, and business and residential class internet access with speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps, requiring 100% network availability, less than 45 milliseconds latency, and less than 0.3% packet loss.

The performance period extends from August 25, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with Diamond N II LLC obligated to provide 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year support services. The award was made using Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures based on a competitive solicitation posted July 30, 2025, with evaluation criteria focused on price and technical merit to determine best value to the government. The project involves connecting 10 different segments across multiple GPS-coordinated locations within Yellowstone National Park, with extensive environmental and wildlife protection mitigation measures required due to the sensitive park environment.
