About this file

This is an Exemption from Competition Request Form submitted by the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to the State of Idaho Division of Purchasing for a direct procurement of HVAC support and maintenance services. ITD seeks authorization to procure continuous commissioning and automatic fault detection services for its existing Delta building automation system without completing a competitive solicitation process. The request is designated as a one-time purchase with an anticipated total cost of $3,272,000.00. The proposed supplier is ATS Delta. No specific response dates, bidders' meetings, or award dates are indicated in the exemption request, as this is a direct procurement authorization rather than a competitive solicitation.

ITD's justification for exemption from competition is based on the requirement that services be compatible with its existing Delta building automation environment and capable of preserving, maintaining, diagnosing, modifying, and supporting the current system without replacing the existing platform. The agency asserts that although competition may theoretically be available, changing vendors would create unacceptable risk of loss of existing control programming and data. The exemption request was submitted on August 27, 2026, and the administrator indicated intent to approve it pending legal notice. ITD also elected to have the exemption posted before final approval. The request includes a supporting justification document titled "Delta EFC Justification.docx" for additional detail.
