About this file
This is a sole source authorization notice issued by the Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, for the procurement of four Mirion EcoGamma-G Environmental Monitors directly from Mirion Technologies under Idaho Code section 67-9221. The procurement was posted on September 22, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 25, 2025, providing interested parties five business days to challenge the sole source determination. The environmental monitors are specialized scientific instruments designed for radiation detection and environmental monitoring to support the state's environmental quality and safety assessment capabilities. No specific contract term, renewal options, site visits, or bidder conferences were identified in the notice.
The procurement contains no explicit budget range or award value stated in the available documentation. No set-asides or restrictions on respondent types were designated for this procurement. The sole source determination is based on Mirion's status as the only vendor qualified to provide this specific equipment. Vendors wishing to contest the sole source authorization must submit written challenges via email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov within the five-business-day challenge period following the notice closing date. The environmental monitors will likely be integrated into existing state environmental monitoring infrastructure to support the state's radiation detection and environmental assessment operations.
