EFC - RealQuest 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 RealQuest Software, with the potential to acquire these services with limited or no competition if approved. The decision to grant this exemption lies solely with the DOP Administrator, who will evaluate whether competition is practical or advantageous under the circumstances. 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 or unreasonable for the state. Suppliers can respond by attaching their input via the designated IPRO platform or emailing directly to the provided contact, with all submissions due before the specified deadline of June 2, 2025. The solicitation, identified as number 962, was posted on May 28, 2025, and involves a contract valued between $50,000 and $150,000. The project is managed by the Idaho State Legislature's Department of Administration, with the primary point of contact being the DOP Administrator. The procurement is focused on services related to NAICS code 541511, which pertains to custom computer programming services, and will be performed within Idaho. Interested suppliers are encouraged to review the detailed request and submit their responses within the designated timeframe to influence the decision regarding the exemption from competition.
