About this file
This is a Sole Source Authorization (SSA) request form submitted by the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) to the Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, for the procurement of NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) curriculum and educational services. The request, submitted by Jason Urquhart on February 26, 2026, seeks authorization to purchase directly from The National Center for Construction Education and Research without competitive bidding. The anticipated total cost for the five-year contract term is $50,000.00. The notice of intent to approve was posted on March 4, 2026, with a challenge period closing on March 9, 2026. Interested vendors may file a challenge to this sole source determination within five business days after the closing date by submitting notice to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-9221.
The IDJC determined that NCCER is the sole provider capable of meeting the agency's business needs based on the unique characteristics of the NCCER curriculum and its compatibility with existing educational requirements. Supporting documentation detailing the specific property description, business justification, and alternatives research is contained in the attached Word document and supplemental PDFs. The authorization was approved by DOP Deputy Administrator Mike Gwinn on March 4, 2026. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned small businesses, or other designated groups are indicated in this procurement. The request does not identify any incumbent vendors or renewal requirements beyond the stated five-year term, though the form indicates the IDJC may anticipate the need for future renewals.
