About this opportunity
The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) is pursuing a sole source procurement for Blade Air Pro Filters, to be exclusively supplied by PGW Solutions. The procurement opportunity focuses on acquiring high-performance air filtration products with unique carbon string design technology, specifically designed to reduce odors, volatile chemicals, and sub-bacterial contaminants including viruses. These filters are distinguished by their lower air pressure drop, superior contaminant removal efficiency, and environmentally conscious construction using recyclable materials. The contract opportunity is published with a posting date of April 14, 2025, and a response deadline of April 17, 2025. Interested parties are required to submit any comments or objections through bidnetdirect.com//cdoc, with the procurement specifically targeting Larimer County within the state of Colorado. The notice serves as a formal opportunity for potential competitors to challenge the sole source determination for these specialized air filtration products.
The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. PGW Solutions is positioned as the exclusive authorized distributor for Blade Air Pro Filters, with the procurement leveraging existing patents and trade secrets that presumably limit competitive bidding. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that alternative vendors would need to demonstrate substantial technological equivalence to challenge the current determination. The contract appears focused on supplying air filtration solutions specifically for the Colorado Department of Corrections, with potential implications for facility-wide air quality management and contaminant control strategies. The procurement methodology emphasizes transparency by providing an open comment period for potential competitors or interested stakeholders to review and potentially contest the sole source designation.
