About this file
This document is a sole source justification for a federal contract opportunity with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. The justification requests two mobile and deployable satellite, Wi-Fi, and LTE communication systems from AT&T Mobility, LLC that can be rapidly deployed by a single person to provide broadband, Wi-Fi, cellular, and other radio communications capabilities under any conditions. The systems must be able to be stored indoors and fit through standard ADA doorways. The estimated cost is redacted. The sole source justification stems from the Joint Communication Infrastructure Improvement Project's approval of AT&T FirstNet as the designated communications network for the project along the southwestern US border, requiring the Bureau of Reclamation to use FirstNet-related equipment per the project's plans.

4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available.
The Joint Communication Infrastructure Improvement Project (JCIIP) was created in 2017 with the goal of modernizing communications networks in southwest of the United States.
JCIIP was created to build a shared communications network with DOI agencies (and other agencies) along the southwestern US border. JCIIP specifically authorized AT&T FirstNet as the communications network to use for the project. BOR is required to follow the guidelines and communications plans that were approved by JCIIP with regards to the types of equipment that can be used. JCIIP chose FirstNet and FirstNet related equipment for use.
BOR cannot deviate from JCIIP’s plans.
