This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for law enforcement services at the Libby Dam Project. The US Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District seeks to acquire daily law enforcement services for Lincoln County, Montana from 01 January 2027 through December 2030, with a four-year option.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) is the sole source provider, with unique capabilities including full law enforcement authority on Corps lands, 24/7 availability, quick response times, and specialized security for the critical Libby Dam infrastructure. Specific services include routine surveillance, generalized threat monitoring, security patrols, emergency response, and the ability to enforce local, state, and federal laws. The document emphasizes LCSO's critical role in protecting the dam, which is part of the Columbia River System and located in Canada, by providing official law enforcement presence and anti-terrorism infrastructure protection.
