About this opportunity
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking an exemption from competition for the procurement of fish food from multiple vendors. This opportunity, posted on February 17, 2026, with a deadline of February 20, 2026, allows the Department of Purchasing (DOP) to potentially procure fish food with limited or no competitive bidding process if the exemption is approved by the DOP Administrator. The agency contends that competition would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous under the circumstances. Interested suppliers are invited to submit information supporting or contradicting this claim by the closing date through the IPRO system or via email to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov. The procurement focuses on the delivery of fish food, a consumable essential to the Department's fisheries management operations. However, specific details regarding quantities, quality specifications, delivery schedules, or required qualifications for vendors are not provided in this exemption request notification.
No specific set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are indicated in the available documentation for this procurement. The opportunity does not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technology infrastructure requirements that would necessitate integration considerations. Similarly, no budget range or award value has been disclosed in the public notice. The discretionary nature of the exemption decision means that suppliers have no formal appeal rights should the Administrator deny the exemption request or proceed with limited competition. All relevant information regarding vendor qualifications, potential award amounts, and specific procurement parameters would likely be contained in the agency's full request, accessible through the Buyer Attachment section of IPRO.
