Reclamation has authority to establish contracts with local law enforcement agencies to enforce state and local regulations, as appropriate. Reclamation has determined the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to be the only reasonably available source to successfully complete the required services due to its full arrest authority and jurisdiction in Adams, Franklin, Grant, and Okanogan Counties.

The resulting Purchase Order will be for a 12-month base period. The Purchase Order will also include four (4) 12-month option periods; to be exercised at Reclamation's discretion.

The Government anticipates award by January 2025. Vendors that have questions regarding the sole source nature of the requirement or vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services and have FULL ARREST AUTHORITY in the counties of service area may identify themselves and give written notification to the Contract Specialist no later than December 29, 2024.
