Libby Dam Sheriff Patrols

Contract W912DW26PA029 is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price award granted to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office to provide essential law enforcement support services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Libby Dam Project and surrounding lands on Lake Koocanusa in Libby, Montana. The contract is valued at approximately $502,474, covering a base period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with four one-year options that extend the performance period through December 31, 2030, and a potential extension to July 2031. The procurement was justified under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii) due to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office's unique jurisdictional authority, 24/7 operational capacity, and historical incumbency, making them the only entity legally authorized to enforce federal, state, and local laws on these specific federal lands. The scope of work includes routine vehicle and foot patrols, real-time security surveillance, and rapid response to high-risk emergencies such as bomb threats and SWAT-level incidents. Given the dam's status as critical infrastructure with transnational implications, the contractor is required to maintain integration with federal, state, and local agencies, including the Montana Anti-Terrorism Information Center. Performance is overseen by the USACE Seattle District, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site at the Libby Dam Project. Funding is provided through Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance Army funds.
