Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source to Northwestern Development Company

The U.S. Government intends to award a succeeding lease using other than full and open competition of an existing lease for the United States Secret Service that is expiring in Washngton, DC. The United States Secret Service's mission requires enhanced situational awareness and strategic placement of assets (antenna) to ensure unwavering protection of the regional airspace. The facility’s proximity to a number of critical national security assets and role in serving to defend the National Capital Region (NCR), make it absolutely vital in the mission’s capacity to operate without interruption. This is a strategically placed antenna and cannot be located elsewhere.
