DMC 3000 personal electronic dosimeters

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is seeking an exemption from competitive procurement for the acquisition of DMC 3000 Personal Electronic Dosimeters, with a posting date of September 24, 2025, and a response deadline of September 30, 2025. The procurement involves a potential direct purchase of specialized radiation measurement equipment, specifically personal electronic dosimeters, which are critical for monitoring individual radiation exposure in healthcare and scientific environments. The Department is requesting an exemption from standard competitive bidding processes, which would allow them to procure these devices through a limited or potentially non-competitive process. Potential suppliers are invited to provide supplemental information that could help the Department of Purchasing (DOP) Administrator evaluate the exemption request, with submissions accepted through the IPRO system or via email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov. The DOP Administrator retains full discretionary power to approve or deny the competition exemption, and suppliers have no formal appeal rights regarding the final decision.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the document, the procurement appears focused on a specialized technical procurement with potential restrictions based on technical capabilities. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided information. The document does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the personal electronic dosimeters. Suppliers interested in participating must carefully review the agency's attached request documentation within the IPRO system and submit any supporting or contradictory information demonstrating whether a competitive procurement would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous to the State of Idaho. The unique nature of the dosimeters and the potential exemption suggest this is a targeted, technical procurement with specific performance requirements for radiation monitoring equipment.
