SSA - Air Quality Monitoring Site Mgt Software eSIMS

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is securing a five‑year sole‑source contract for eSIMS, a proprietary air‑quality‑monitoring‑site‑management software that houses all existing DEQ monitoring data. Because the software is unique and no alternative can import DEQ’s historic data, the agency has justified a sole‑source award to Spheros Environmental. The contract totals $94,750 for the full term, roughly $18,950 per year, and includes licensing, database hosting, maintenance, and technical support. • Scope: Ongoing software licensing, data‑base management, system support, and annual renewals for eSIMS. • Vendor: Spheros Environmental – sole manufacturer/distributor of the required system. • Funding: FY 2026 Idaho state budget, total estimated cost $94,750 over five years. • Procurement: Sole‑Source Authorization under Idaho Code 67‑9221, no competitive bidding. • Timeline: SSA approved on 2026‑04‑16; contract effective immediately thereafter for a five‑year period.
