About this file
This is a Sole Source Authorization (SSA) letter from Mettler-Toledo Rainin, LLC, supporting the Idaho Department of Administration's Division of Purchasing notice of intent to approve sole source procurement for the Idaho State Police to purchase Mettler Toledo Rainin pipette tips. The letter, dated January 2026, establishes Mettler-Toledo Rainin, LLC as the sole manufacturer and authorized provider of Rainin pipetting products and related consumables in the United States. The company offers an extensive product line including manual and electronic pipettes (Pipet-Lite XLS+, E4 XLS+, Rainin Vero, and Rainin Classic models), benchtop systems (Liquidator 96, BenchSmart 96, MicroPro), and pipette tips in various formats including racked tips, bulk tips, and specialty tips such as BioClean Ultra and LQR tips for high-throughput applications. The letter emphasizes that Rainin is the only organization authorized to perform repairs, preventive maintenance, and calibration services for Rainin instruments in the United States, with service depots located in California, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, all accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
The justification for sole source procurement centers on the integral relationship between Rainin consumables and instrument performance and accuracy. Mettler-Toledo Rainin states that it can only guarantee the accuracy and performance of Rainin instruments—including pipettes equipped with the LTS LiteTouch System, universal pipettes, and MicroPro systems—when used with Rainin original equipment manufacturer (OEM) consumables. Interested vendors may file a challenge to this sole source procurement within five business days after the closing date by contacting purchasing@adm.idaho.gov in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-9232(4).
