About this file
The document is a Questions & Answers (Q&A) document for Solicitation NPSS1 2025000188, involving the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) and Advanced Technology LLC, concerning a potential sole source procurement for laundry and ware washing chemicals. The Q&A addresses a specific inquiry about the possibility of alternative sources for chemical formulations and equipment used in facility sanitation programs.
Advanced Technology LLC claims proprietary rights to their chemical formulations, which were created specifically for each facility's unique needs and water supply factors. The company has installed proprietary dispensing equipment and security cages at their own expense, and they argue that removing or replacing this equipment would significantly disrupt daily sanitation operations. The response emphasizes that Advanced Technology provides a comprehensive service package including formulation, blending, delivery, drum removal, and equipment maintenance at no additional cost to CDOC, which they claim has not been matched by other potential sources. The document suggests that additional information would be needed to consider alternative providers who could match these services without requiring additional investment from CDOC.

Q1 Question: Sole Source
There are definitely additional sources for laundry and ware washing chemicals which we have access
to. If CDOC has the specifications for chemicals we are able to formulate and blend those chemicals.
Additionally the equipment is available through a number of vendors and manufacturer's. With proper lead times I believe the change over could be completed with minimal down time. Does Advanced
Technology have a special formulation for these chemicals? What are specifications for chemical and chemicals required?
Answer: The formulations are the proprietary property of Advanced Technology LLC, we do not have them nor have they been shared with CDOC. The blends were created based on each facility needs and water supply factors. The installed dispensing equipment and security cages are also their proprietary property, which were installed at their expense, with no additional cost to CDOC. Removing and exchanging of this equipment will create a significate disruption to the daily operations of the sanitation programs at each location. Other sources have stated that the cost of replacing the equipment and security cages would be an expense that CDOC would have to cover. The services of:
formulating, blending, delivering, removing of empty drums, and equipment maintenance by Advanced
Technology has not been seen from any other source at no additional cost to CDOC. Additional information would need to be provided as to how another source would be able to provide the chemicals, formulations, equipment, and services for all locations at no additional investment by CDOC for consideration.
