EFC - Milk, Packaged and Delivered - IDVS

The Idaho Division of Veterans Services has submitted a request to the Department of Purchasing (DOP) for an exemption from the competitive bidding process to procure packaged and delivered milk. If granted, this exemption would enable the agency to acquire the product with limited or no competition, at the discretion of the DOP Administrator. To ensure transparency, the DOP is inviting suppliers to review the exemption request and submit relevant information that could support or challenge the claim that conducting a competitive process would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous to the state. Suppliers are encouraged to provide their input through the designated submission channels before the response deadline of April 23, 2025. The solicitation, titled "EFC - Milk, Packaged and Delivered - IDVS," is posted under solicitation number 907, with a contract size estimated between $50,000 and $200,000. The procurement is associated with the NAICS code 112120, indicating its focus on dairy farms. The contract is managed by the Idaho State of Idaho, with the primary point of contact being the DOP Administrator via email. The process is part of the state's effort to streamline procurement for this specific need, with the decision on exemption remaining at the discretion of the DOP Administrator and no appeal rights granted to suppliers.
