BNO - 30 DMC 3000 personal electronic dosimeters

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is requesting a brand name exemption for the purchase of 30 DMC 3000 personal electronic dosimeters. The department has already issued approximately 80 of these dosimeters as replacements for obsolete equipment and wants to complete the transition with this order. The dosimeters are used by the Idaho State Police, HAZMAT units at fire departments, and Regional Response Teams, and are calibrated and maintained by a contract vendor. The department does not want to introduce an "equivalent" product into the system, as the agencies are familiar and trained on these particular models. • The request is for a brand name exemption, which allows the agency to specify one brand name only in a procurement and eliminate bids for any alternate or substitute property. • The decision to approve the brand name exemption is at the discretion of the DOP Administrator. • Suppliers are invited to provide information that may help the DOP Administrator make a decision regarding this brand name exemption. • The dosimeters are not available on a statewide contract.
