Description
The Idaho Military Division is seeking an exemption from competition for the purchase of food and snacks for the IDYCA, a resident school. The school requires specific products that are not available through their current contract with Sysco, and the discounted school program with Gold Star is the only viable option. The products are needed for between-meal snacks, and the annual cost would be around $25,000. The exemption is requested due to the limited competition in the remote location of the school.
• The products required include jungle crackers, grahams, cookie animal crackers, and raisin dried fruit.
• The school is located in a remote logging town, and most contractors refuse to service the location.
• The exemption is requested for a one-time purchase, with an anticipated total cost of $125,000.
