SSA - StreamPro ADCP

The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) is seeking a sole source procurement for StreamPro Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) systems through the Idaho Division of Purchasing. The procurement focuses on acquiring multiple ADCP units from Frontier Precision, the authorized distributor for Teledyne RD Instruments, to replace and supplement existing water measurement equipment. The primary deliverables include three StreamPro ADCP systems and associated Riverboat SP equipment packages, which will enable consistent surface water measurements across the state. IDWR requires equipment compatible with their existing WinRiver II software and aims to maintain measurement continuity over a five-year replacement cycle. The solicitation was posted on October 4, 2023, with a response deadline of October 10, 2023, and includes a five-business-day window for potential vendors to challenge the sole source authorization. Key evaluation criteria center on technical compatibility, manufacturer support, and alignment with IDWR's existing measurement infrastructure.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation beyond the sole source determination favoring Frontier Precision. The total anticipated procurement budget is approximately $72,000, with a 10% allowance for potential price adjustments over the five-year period. The contract is limited to the state of Idaho, specifically targeting Ada County and Boise City jurisdictions. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation coverage. The state requires additional insured status for the State of Idaho and the contracting agency, with insurance providers rated A-VII or better in the latest Bests Rating Guide. Teledyne RD Instruments has provided a manufacturer's authorization letter supporting Frontier Precision's ability to submit and discuss the bid, further validating the sole source procurement approach.
