About this file

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity Orders, issued by the Department of Interior under FAR 16.505(b)(2) for a single-source contract action.

The contracting activity is DOI/NPS/Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The requirement is for fiber optic relocation of slack to enable NPS connection of new fiber to proposed/existing NPS-owned fiber at Boise Cascade, with an estimated cost of $23,100. The sole source is NOANET (NoaNet), located at 11707 E Sprague Avenue, Suite 201, Spokane Valley, WA 99206. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) and FAR 6.302-1, determining that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements under the "only one responsible source" exception. Market research confirmed that interconnection at the specified meet points requires work on NoaNet infrastructure, and NoaNet mandates that all construction be performed by its personnel or authorized contractors. NoaNet exclusively owns, operates, and maintains the fiber infrastructure at the required connection point and has a current franchise agreement with Avista for pole attachment that includes installing a riser extending to a new handhole. The document was signed by Contracting Officer HAL HOVERSTEN on July 27, 2026, and concurred by Program Office/COR NATHAN KROHN on July 22, 2026.
