DESCHUTES COUNTY SHERIFF LAW ENFORCEMENT, Northwes

The Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region is seeking law enforcement services for BLM-administered public lands in Deschutes County, Oregon, through solicitation 140L4325Q0089. The procurement specifically targets the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office to provide sworn deputy sheriffs for motorized, foot, and off-highway vehicle patrols focused on preventing violations, ensuring visitor and employee safety, and investigating crimes on federal lands. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price commercial services purchase order covering actual costs associated with law enforcement patrols, including wages, mileage, and vehicle expenses, with additional requirements for radio dispatch services and potential assistance in special operations such as marijuana eradication. This solicitation represents a sole-source procurement justified by the Sheriff's Office being the only local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction to enforce civil and criminal laws in the designated area. The proposal submission deadline is August 13, 2025, with the contract period running from February 6, 2026, through February 5, 2031.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and appears to be directed specifically toward the incumbent Deschutes County Sheriff's Office based on the sole-source justification documentation. The contract structure includes a base period of one year from February 6, 2026, to February 5, 2027, with four optional one-year extensions that could extend services through February 5, 2031, representing a potential five-year total contract duration. Services will be performed primarily during high-use periods, particularly summer months from May through September, with deputies patrolling specific BLM-administered areas including LaPine, Biak, Barr North, Buckhorn, Tumalo, Mayfield Pond, and Reynolds Pond within Deschutes County. The procurement falls under FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures and is authorized under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, which permits BLM to contract with local law enforcement agencies to enhance public safety on federal lands. Contractors must submit monthly reports detailing patrol activities, arrests, and incidents, with wage determinations provided for Deschutes County service contract workers under applicable Department of Labor guidelines.
