About this file

This document is a Competition Impracticable (CI) Procurement Authorization form from the Arizona State Procurement Office, specifically involving the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) and Washington State University. The form is designed to authorize a procurement that does not follow standard competitive bidding processes, with the requestor being Zac Thayer, a Procurement Specialist from AZGFD.

The procurement is for Diagnostic Laboratory Services for Aquatics/Wildlife, to be provided by Washington State University's Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. The contract is requesting authorization for a five-year term (through FY31) with an estimated total cost of $300,000. The justification indicates that the Wildlife Health program requires specialized laboratory services for disease surveillance, and this specific university is one of a limited number of diagnostic laboratories capable of meeting the department's criteria. The procurement is deemed competition impracticable due to the specialized nature of the services and the lack of alternative suppliers that can fully meet the department's needs.

Text11: The Wildlife Health program at Arizona Game & Fish Department manages a number of disease surveillance programs for the Department and assists regional program managers in submitting samples for disease testing. The laboratories should have the ability to run a variety of tests, be familiar with wildlife disease syndromes, have a reasonable price structure, and be responsive to the specialized needs of the Department. A limited number of diagnostic laboratories exist who can meet the Department's criteria. At times, the results are shared with other wildlife agencies. In these instances, it is beneficial for the samples to be tested by the same facility.

IV0000002646 - WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY is a public university.

Text12: This university provides laboratory services for wildlife and aquatic diseases.

5-6 Requests for Proposal/Invitation for Bids have been sent to the supplier community in past years and the qualified diagnostic laboratories were notified each time. No responses were received for any of the solicitations. As a result, the wildlife Management Division reviewed the services available and determined that the use of multiple contracts must be utilized in order to meet all of the anticipated needs of the Department. Price is determined to be reasonable based upon historical data and purchase order comparisons.
