Dosimeter Brand Name Only Request.pdf

This file is a brand name exemption request submitted by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to the State of Idaho's Division of Purchasing (DOP) for the procurement of DMC 3000 personal electronic dosimeters. The agency is requesting approval to specify only the DMC 3000 brand in the solicitation, which would eliminate consideration of alternate or substitute products. The procurement involves the acquisition of 30 units of these personal electronic dosimeters. The response deadline for suppliers to submit information supporting or contradicting the brand name exemption claim is December 17, 2025. Suppliers are invited to provide relevant information through the IPRO system or via email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov prior to the closing date to assist the DOP Administrator in making a discretionary decision regarding the exemption.

The DOP Administrator retains full discretionary authority over the brand name exemption decision, and suppliers have no right to appeal the Administrator's final determination. No specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbent vendor details, or contract award values are detailed in this exemption request document. The transparency initiative allows competing suppliers to review the agency's justification for the brand name specification and present evidence that alternative brands could meet the state's operational requirements. The decision regarding whether to proceed with the brand name exemption or to accept alternative dosimeter products remains entirely within the discretion of the DOP Administrator.
