BNE Request Kodak Scanners (2).pdf

The document is a brand name exemption request from the Idaho Transportation Department for the purchase of Kodak Scanners. The Department is seeking approval for a brand name exemption, which would allow it to specify Kodak Scanners and exclude bids for any alternate or substitute products. The DOP Administrator has discretion to approve or deny the requested exemption. Suppliers are invited to provide information that may support or contradict the claim that the named brand is the only one that can meet the agency's business needs. Responses must be submitted via the IPRO system or by email to the purchasing department prior to the closing date and time.

The brand name exemption request does not provide details on pricing, set asides, incumbents, funding sources, or other salient information. The decision remains at the discretion of the DOP Administrator, and suppliers have no right to appeal the decision.
