About this file
This is a Request for One Time Exemption from Competition form submitted by the Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Security Operations, to the Idaho Division of Purchasing (DOP) on December 4, 2024. The Department of Administration requests an exemption from competitive procurement for an Emergency Notification System from Konexus (AlertSense dba Konexus). The exemption was approved by the DOP Administrator, with additional conditions applied to the approval. The Department of Administration intends to procure a contract prior to the end of Calendar Year 2025.
The quoted cost for the emergency notification system is $7,325. The justification for the exemption centers on the Department of Administration's unique use of emergency notifications compared to other state agencies, necessitating a separate procurement process from a dedicated provider. The Department previously received an exemption in 2021 to determine scope and costs for this specialized service. No specific set-asides are identified in this exemption request. The contract opportunity was posted on December 5, 2024, allowing suppliers to submit information supporting or contradicting the claim that competition would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous to the State.

competition for the Idaho Division of Purchasing for an emergency notification system from Konexus.
In 2021, DOP provided an exemption to determine the scope and costs. It was determined the Department of Administration uses emergency notifications in a different manner than other state agencies, therefore will need to procure a contract from a provider separately. The department seeks an exemption for CY 2025 with the intent to procure a contract prior to the end of the CY25.
