About this file
This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a simplified acquisition. The BLM California State Office is seeking a vendor to provide a shelter and tower space for two BLM repeaters. The justification for limiting competition is that there are no other communication sites in the area that would provide the required coverage, and allowing open competition would pose a security and safety risk to BLM law enforcement officers by revealing the communication site locations and equipment. Additionally, moving the BLM's existing equipment to another site would not be cost-effective.
The related federal contract opportunity is a sole-source procurement for a communications site lease at Calico Peak. The BLM intends to negotiate and award a contract to American Tower Corp, as there are no other sites in the area that can provide the required coverage. The services to be performed include providing the shelter and tower space for the BLM repeaters. The government is not obligated to award a contract or pay for information provided by other vendors who respond to this notice, but may use the information for future procurements.
