About this file

This is a Request Form to Division of Purchasing (DOP) submitted by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) on March 7, 2025, requesting a Brand Name Only (BNO) exemption for the purchase of utility terrain vehicles (UTVs). The agency seeks to procure two Can Am Defender 1000 UTVs, two Polaris RZR 900 UTVs, and one Can Am MAVTrail 1000 fully enclosed UTV. The requestor, Doug Peterson (208-287-2816; doug.peterson@idfg.idaho.gov), indicates the exemption was posted on March 10, 2025, with a response deadline of March 13, 2025. The BNO exemption allows IDFG to specify brand names only in the procurement, eliminating consideration of alternate or substitute vehicles.

The justification for the brand name exemption centers on IDFG's existing investment in track systems specifically designed for the identified UTV models, valued at approximately $6,000 per unit with an estimated 6 to 9 years of remaining serviceable life. The agency states that without receiving like UTVs compatible with these existing track systems, the equipment cannot be utilized, and the agency lacks budget to replace the tracks. The DOP Administrator intends to approve the exemption as submitted on March 10, 2025. The exemption is subject to posting for public review and supplier comment prior to final approval, permitting interested vendors to submit information supporting or contradicting the claimed necessity of the specified brands.

Type of Exemption *

A solicitation has been completed and my Agency wishes to award contracts to multiple vendors for the same or smilar property (Multiple Award Authorization)

My Agency wishes to administer or award a solicitation at a dollar amount above its normal Delegated Purchasing Authority (Limited/One-Time DPA)

The property required is available on one or more open contracts, but my Agency wishes to purchase from a different vendor. (Note: if total value is over $10,000, Agency must also check the box for exemption from competition if requesting to pruchase from a specific vendor). (Utilization of Open Contract).

A solicitation is being developed (by my Agency under its DPA or in conjunction with DOP) and my Agency wishes to limit responses to a specific manufacturer/brand name (I.e. no substitutions). (Note: this option assumes that multiple vendors can offer the identified brand name; otherwise, select the option for exemption from competition to request a Sole Source Authorization (Brand Name Only)

A solicitation has been completed and there is a need to negotiate with one or more vendors. (Authorization to Negotiate)

My Agency is seeking to purchase directly from an identified vendor without completing a solicitation OR wishes to perform a level of competition that is less formal than would typically be required. (Various exemptions-additional questions to follow) mailto:doug.peterson@idfg.idaho.gov
