Law Enforcement and Security, Haystack

Notice of Sole Source Intent
This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.
The Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Regional Office intends to award a Purchase Order for Law Enforcement and Security Surveillance Patrol services for Haystack Dam, Reservoir, and surrounding areas in Jefferson County, Oregon to the Jefferson County Sheriff¿s Office. Reclamation has authority to establish contracts with local law enforcement agencies to enforce state and local regulations, as appropriate. Reclamation has found the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office to be the only reasonably available source with full arrest authority in Jefferson County to successfully complete the required services.
The resulting Purchase Order will be for a 12 month base period, and include 4 additional 12-month option periods.
Since Reclamation believes that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the agency¿s requirements, a Single Source Justification is being prepared.
The Government anticipates award before October 2018; services to begin no later than October 1, 2018. Vendors that have questions regarding the sole source nature of the requirement or vendors that believe they can fully provide the required services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contract Specialist. In order to allow for sufficient Government consideration and potential quote evaluation, vendors must submit their written Letter of Interest no later than August 16, 2018. Responses received after August 16, 2018, will not be considered by the Government.
