About this file
This is a sole-source justification document prepared by the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) in support of a procurement authorization from Safe Restraints Inc. The IDJC seeks to purchase a complete WRAP Safety Restraint Package, including a carry bag, helmet, harness, leg restraint, ankle strap, and SRI shields, with an anticipated total one-time cost of $9,472.27. The procurement is conducted under Idaho Code section 67-9221, with a notice posted June 9, 2026, and a challenge-filing deadline of June 12, 2026 (five business days after notice closing). The equipment is intended for use in juvenile correctional facilities to safely restrain juveniles who become assaultive or present elevated risks, thereby maintaining a secure environment for both juveniles and staff during high-risk incidents.
The sole-source justification is based on IDJC's research and outreach to local law enforcement agencies, including the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, Saint Anthony Police Department, and Rexburg Police Department, all of which currently use or have adopted the WRAP system due to its ease of use and flexibility. IDJC staff conducted extensive online research and determined that alternative restraint options, such as restraint chairs, beds, and riot shields, are not viable for a juvenile corrections setting because they lack the flexibility and functionality of the WRAP system. The determination that Safe Restraints Inc. is the only qualified vendor is based on this research and the demonstrated preference for the WRAP system among comparable local agencies. Any interested vendor may challenge this sole-source authorization by submitting timely notice to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-9232(4).

For WRAP Safety Restraint Packages sole source
Anticipated total cost: $9,472.27 one time (we don’t anticipate purchasing more than this)
Property (describe the property you are seeking):
Carry Bag Helmet Harness Leg Restraint Ankle Strap -This is the complete package. Nothing is left out.
Plus, we are purchasing SRI shields per the attached quote.
Business need (describe the agency’s business need for the property):
IDJC requires specialized equipment to safely restrain juveniles who become assaultive or otherwise present an elevated risk within its facilities. This equipment is essential to maintaining a secure environment and ensuring the safety of both juveniles and staff during high‑risk incidents.
Description (describe what makes the property unique. Why is it the only property that will meet your business need?):
Please see the information under “Alternatives” below. Based upon research that IDJC staff have done, this product is the best product to use to safely restrain juveniles in IDJC facilities when needed.
Alternatives (describe the research you conducted to identify other potential property/sources. What potential alternatives did you find and why will they not meet the agency’s needs):
Received this information from IDJC staff: “Following up on the efforts that were made for the WRAP system. I reached out to Fremont County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO), Saint Anthony PD, and folks with Rexburg PD (RPD) who are all local to the St. Anthony area. FCSO currently uses the wrap system and have done so for several years. In talking with Sherrif Bart Quayle, they originally looked into other options and were unable to find anything they liked better. RPD Chief of Police Josh Rhodes said they used different tools in the past but have settled on the WRAP system due to the ease of use and flexibility. SPD is working on getting the WRAP system for their department currently.
In looking online, the only other options for restraint type techniques or systems that I was able to find were actual restraint chairs, beds or riot shields. The shields were the closest thing to the WRAP systems SRI shield but are not flexible. None of these are viable options for a juvenile corrections setting.
I did most of the communication with other agencies and Jeremy did a lot of online searches with similar results.”
