The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302.

Pinnacle Towers retains ownership of the towers where ATF's communication equipment is located.

In support of ATF's LMR systems' infrastructure needs, communication equipment is installed and housed in various locations throughout the Continental US, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Alaska. The locations include remote, mountainous, rural, and/or metropolitan sites. A yearly site lease is established where ATF communications equipment is housed and renewed annually thereafter as long as there is an existing need for LMR coverage to support ATF operations. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 531390 with a size standard of $2 million dollars. Any award resulting from this requirement will be issued pursuant to FAR Part12, Acquisition of Commercial Items-FAC 2005-30 effective January 31, 2009.
