D--NOI SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT LARO fiber slack.

The National Park Service, under the Department of the Interior, intends to award a sole source firm fixed-price contract to Northwest Open Access Network (NOANET) for fiber optic cable pulling and termination services at the Kettle Falls North District of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because NOANET is the sole owner and operator of the existing fiber optic infrastructure that must be accessed to complete the work, making it the only responsible source capable of performing the task. The scope involves pulling and terminating approximately two miles of slack fiber optic cable from Boise Cascade to connect with NPS facilities, including installing pole-mounted risers and handholes to extend connectivity. The estimated contract value is $23,100 to $25,000, with no options, extensions, or line-item pricing details provided. Performance will occur entirely at the Kettle Falls site, with no FOB terms applicable, as this is a service-based contract. The procurement is non-competitive, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or technical criteria are used since award is based solely on exclusivity of access and ownership. Comments on the sole source justification must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Hal Hoversten by August 6, 2026, at 3:30 PM Pacific Time, and must include the responder’s business name, qualifications, and point of contact. While the contract is structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement, no specific contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection standards beyond regulatory compliance, or certifications from the offeror are documented in the materials. The contracting office is located in Port Angeles, WA, and the agency code is 140P83. NOANET’s physical address is listed as Spokane Valley, WA, and they provide direct and NOC phone contacts and a website for reference. The government retains inspection and acceptance authority at the final location of work, and while the solicitation number is 140P8326Q0062, no detailed CLIN structure, accounting codes, invoicing method, or COR/COTR contact information beyond the contracting officer are specified.
