Quick Summary
The Bureau of Reclamation, on behalf of the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission (URMCC), has issued an award notice for a single-source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Warm Springs Irrigation and Power Company. This agreement provides essential water services for lands within the Utah Lake Wetland Preserve.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves the assessment and provision of water shares for lands administered by the URMCC. Because Warm Springs Irrigation and Power Company owns the exclusive water rights for these specific lands, they are the only entity capable of providing the required services. The scope ensures the continued management and preservation of the wetland preserve through reliable water access.
Contract & Timeline

- Duration: Five-year period of performance
- Ceiling Value: $150,000
- Set-Aside: None (Sole Source)
- Published Date: February 10, 2026
Evaluation & Justification
This acquisition was conducted as a sole-source procurement under the justification that the vendor is the unique owner of the necessary water rights. Market research was performed, including a "Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract" previously posted on SAM.gov, which resulted in no responses from other potential vendors. Consequently, the government determined that no other sources could satisfy the requirement.
Additional Notes
This notice serves as the formal redacted justification for the single-source award. The primary point of contact is Steve Bauer at sbauer@usbr.gov.
