FY26-DOEE-WPD-sole source procurement of Kingman Island ranger station

The District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment is forecasting a sole-source procurement to securely acquire ownership of the LEAF House facility, which will serve as the permanent Ranger Station on Kingman Island. This action is intended to formalize control over the property to ensure its continued operational use for environmental stewardship, public access, and park management purposes. The procurement is scheduled for fiscal year 2026 and reflects a strategic effort to consolidate and stabilize agency infrastructure on the island. No solicitation number has been issued yet, and the contract is currently in the forecast stage, with no set-aside provisions, NAICS code, or point of contact details provided. The facility will function as a critical operational hub for park rangers and environmental programs, supporting community engagement, conservation efforts, and site maintenance on Kingman Island. The procurement will proceed without competitive bidding due to the unique nature of the property and its designated use, aligning with the agency’s long-term goals for preserving and managing public lands in the District.
