EFC - NetSfere Software support and mtce

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has requested an exemption from the competitive procurement process for the support and maintenance of NetSfere software. This exemption, if granted by the DOP Administrator, would allow the agency to acquire the software support without engaging in a standard competitive bidding process, which is typically at the discretion of the Administrator. To ensure transparency, the department is inviting suppliers to review the exemption request and submit relevant information that could support or oppose the claim that competition would be impractical, unreasonable, or disadvantageous under the current circumstances. Suppliers are encouraged to provide their input through the designated submission channels before the specified deadline of June 27, 2025. The solicitation, identified as number 997, was posted on June 24, 2025, and falls under the NAICS code 541511, which pertains to custom computer programming services. The contract size is estimated to range between $50,000 and $200,000, with the work to be performed within Idaho. The primary point of contact for this procurement is the DOP Administrator, reachable via email at [email hidden]. The process emphasizes transparency and invites suppliers to participate by submitting their information through the designated online portal or via email prior to the response deadline. The decision to grant the exemption remains at the discretion of the DOP Administrator, and suppliers have no right to appeal the outcome.
