This is a Request for Quote (RFQ 275) document from the Idaho Division of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) seeking to procure mobile kitchen, mobile dishwashing, and mobile storage units 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 IDJC solicited quotes from vendors, with the RFQ posted on February 8, 2024, and a response deadline of February 13, 2024. The anticipated contract term is up to six months with possible extension. The agency is requesting a one-time exemption from the standard competitive bidding process due to the urgent timeline and imminent kitchen unavailability. The State has invited suppliers to submit information supporting or contesting the exemption request through the IPRO system or via email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov prior to the closing date.

The procurement value is $218,710, based on the lowest quote received from U.S. Mobile Kitchens, with a competing quote from Stewart's Mobile Concepts. No specific set-aside designations are identified for this procurement. Standard insurance requirements apply, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation, and employer's liability insurance, with minimum coverage limits and additional insured provisions naming the State of Idaho. The final decision on granting the exemption from competition remains at the discretion of the Division of Purchasing Administrator, and suppliers have no right to appeal the Administrator's decision.
