CPK-500 Rev 11292017 Model (1).pdf

This file is a competitive procurement exemption request form (CPK-500) submitted by the Idaho Division of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) to the Idaho Division of Purchasing (DOP). The agency is seeking a one-time exemption from competitive bidding to procure a mobile kitchen, mobile dishwashing unit, and mobile storage unit for the Juvenile Correction Center in Nampa. The procurement is necessitated by an upcoming construction project that will render the existing kitchen unavailable after April 3, 2024. The agency received quotes from two vendors: U.S. Mobile Kitchens and Stewart's Mobile Concepts. The solicitation was posted on February 8, 2024, with a response deadline of February 13, 2024. The anticipated contract term is up to six months with possible extension. The Division of Purchasing is transparently offering suppliers the opportunity to review the exemption request and provide information supporting or contesting the claim that a competitive process would be impractical or disadvantageous.

The lowest quote, submitted by U.S. Mobile Kitchens, totals $218,710 and represents the anticipated procurement value. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are noted in the solicitation. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation, and employer's liability insurance, with minimum coverage limits and additional insured provisions for the State of Idaho. The final decision on the exemption remains discretionary and at the sole discretion of the DOP Administrator, with suppliers having no right to appeal the Administrator's decision. Interested suppliers must submit relevant information through the IPRO system or via email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov prior to the closing date and time to be considered.
