## Description

**Notice of Intent:** Sole Source Snow Peak Communications Site Lease Overview The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California State Office. The contractor or site owner shall provide land use, access, infrastructure, and utilities necessary to support BLM-owned communications equipment and ensure uninterrupted radio communications services critical to employee safety and mission operations.

Sole Source Contract Announcement This notice informs the public of BLM¿s intent to award a sole source contract to provide land use, access, infrastructure and utilities necessary to support BLM-owned communications equipment and ensure uninterrupted radio communications services critical to employee safety and mission operations.

The contract will be awarded in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 5.301(b)/5.101(b)(i) and will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures as authorized by RFO 6.103-1(b) under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). This statute authorizes sole source procurement when the property or services required are available only from one responsible source, or from a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of property or services will satisfy the agency¿s needs.

Justification for Sole Source The sole source vendor owns and operates the building where the equipment is located. The site is located at 11401 Raywood Flat Road, Morongo Valley, CA 92256. The Snow Peak site is unique, geographically strategic location with existing infrastructure that supports field going personnel. No alternative sites in the vicinity meet the operational requirements due to the terrain and elevation of Snow Peak which provide critical connectivity.

The existing infrastructure investments at this site would be cost-prohibitive to replicate elsewhere. Dependency or uninterrupted services currently provided through this site are vital to employee and public safety. Event Details The anticipated contract will be a firm fixed price agreement, scheduled between 09/15/2026- and 09/25/2026.

The associated NAICS code for this requirement is 531190, which covers establishments primarily engaged in acting as lessors of real estate (except buildings), such as manufactured home (i.e., mobile home) sites, vacant lots, and grazing land. The size standard for this NAICS code is $47,000,000. The attached sole source justification is available for review. Currently, no solicitation documents exist for this procurement.

Public Notification and Response Procedure This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes or offers, and no solicitation package is available. The government retains sole discretion regarding whether to compete with this proposed contract. Firms that believe they have the capability to provide these services must submit information in writing, demonstrating clear and convincing evidence of their ability to fulfill the requirements.

Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive requirement should be implemented. Responses to this notice must reference number DOILFBO260034 and be sent in writing to Laurie Ehlinger at laurie_ehlinger@ios.doi.gov no later than September 17, 2026, at 9:00 AM PDT.
