About this file
This is a Notice of Intent for a sole source contract award for a communications site lease. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California State Office intends to award a sole source contract to provide land use, access, infrastructure, and utilities necessary to support BLM-owned communications equipment at the Snow Peak site located at 11401 Raywood Flat Road, Morongo Valley, California 92256. The contract will be a firm fixed price agreement with an anticipated performance period from September 15, 2026 to September 25, 2026.
The sole source justification is based on the site owner's unique ownership and operation of the building housing the equipment, coupled with the Snow Peak site's geographically strategic location and critical elevation that provide essential connectivity for field personnel. The BLM determined that no alternative sites in the vicinity meet operational requirements due to terrain and elevation constraints, and that replicating existing infrastructure investments elsewhere would be cost-prohibitive. Uninterrupted services provided through this site are vital to employee and public safety. The procurement will be conducted in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul authorities and will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1).

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Bureau of Land Management FAR 12 Simplified Acquisitions
1. Identification of the agency and the contracting office.
Bureau of Land Management, CA State Office Support Services Division, Telecommunications Branch 2800 Cottage Way, Ste. W-1623, Sacramento, CA 95825-1886
2. Description of supply or service required to meet the agency’s needs.
This action is a firm fixed priced purchase order for a lease agreement for continued use of Snow Peak Communications Site. The lease will provide access to the communications site and facilities necessary to support critical employee and public safety operations in the region. The lease covers land use and associated infrastructure essential for uninterrupted services.
3. The rationale or circumstances for limiting competition.
BLM seeks to establish a communications site lease at Snow Peak to support the various California resource areas. This lease will enhance employee safety by improving radio communication coverage for BLM staff working in the field.
4. A description of the Market Research (MR) conducted and the results or a statement of the reason MR was not conducted.
Snow Peak site is unique, geographically strategic location with existing infrastructure that supports field going personnel. No alternative sites in the vicinity meet the operational requirements due to:
· The terrain and elevation of Snow Peak, which provide critical connectivity.
· Existing infrastructure investments at this site would be cost-prohibitive to replicate elsewhere.
· Dependency on uninterrupted services currently provided through this site, which are vital to employee and public safety.
Given these factors, competition would not yield practical or viable alternatives.
