Radon Test Kits

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Bureau of Community and Environmental Health, is issuing a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for short-term radon air test kits to be distributed to health districts, schools, partners, and the public to encourage home radon testing. The procurement seeks test kits that meet specific requirements regarding size, material, testing capabilities, and analysis standards. The RFQ is open to vendors who can provide radon test kits that will help facilitate widespread radon testing across Idaho. Quotes must be submitted electronically through the IPRO system by 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on August 13, 2024. The initial contract term will be one year, with the potential for up to four additional one-year extensions, not to exceed a total of five years. The contract will be a fixed unit cost, indefinite quantity contract, with the Department paying up to the total quoted amount for successfully delivered products. Vendors must provide fully loaded rates including all operating and personnel expenses, and the Department reserves the right to evaluate samples and determine if responses meet the RFQ requirements.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The contract appears to be open to any vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications for radon test kits. While a specific budget range is not provided, the contract is structured as an indefinite quantity agreement, suggesting flexibility in potential order volumes. The procurement is jurisdiction-wide, covering Ada County and potentially extending to other areas of Idaho. The Department will use an evaluation process that includes reviewing the technical specifications of the test kits, verifying vendor capabilities, and assessing the proposed unit pricing. Vendors will need to demonstrate their ability to provide high-quality radon test kits that meet the specified testing and analysis standards.
