About this file

This is an Exemption from Competition (EFC) Request Form submitted to the Idaho Division of Purchasing by requestor Mack DeYoung on April 10, 2025, for the purchase of milk, packaged and delivered. The Idaho Division of Purchasing seeks exemption from competitive procurement under IDAPA 38.05.01.042.05, claiming that competition would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous under the circumstances. The proposed supplier is Meadow Gold Dairy, and this is identified as a one-time purchase with an anticipated total cost of $900,000. The form indicates that additional justification and supporting documentation are attached in a separate file titled "Competition Exemption Request - Milk.docx." The EFC Administrator intends to approve the exemption pending legal notice as of April 15, 2025. In the interest of transparency, the Division of Purchasing is posting this exemption request to allow suppliers an opportunity to submit relevant information supporting or contradicting the agency's claim that competition would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous before final approval.

The anticipated total procurement value is $900,000 for a one-time milk purchase from Meadow Gold Dairy. No specific set-asides are indicated in the exemption request form. The document does not identify an incumbent vendor or provide details regarding current market conditions, specific funding sources, or budget justification beyond the noted total cost. Suppliers are invited to submit information via the IPRO system or by email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov prior to the closing date established by the Division of Purchasing to influence the Administrator's final decision on whether to grant the exemption from competition.
