BNO - Panametric Transport PT900 ultrasonic flow meters

The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) has submitted a Brand‑Name‑Only (BNO) exemption request seeking competitive bids for two Panametrics TransPort PT900 portable ultrasonic flow meters, together with any required accessories compatible with existing PT878 equipment. The agency argues that the specific make‑and‑model is essential to leverage current accessories, avoid additional training, and maintain measurement accuracy for water‑resource monitoring tasks. No budget, award date, or detailed schedule is disclosed, but the solicitation opened on 29 April 2026 and closes on 4 May 2026. Vendors capable of supplying the exact PT900 unit (or authorized distributors) are invited to submit their bids. • Required product: Panametrics TransPort PT900 ultrasonic flow meter (including compatible accessories). • Quantity: Two units. • Justification: Compatibility with legacy PT878 accessories, staff already trained on Panametrics equipment, and superior accuracy. • Procurement type: Brand‑Name‑Only exemption – competitive bidding limited to the specified brand/model. • Key dates: Opened 29 April 2026, submission deadline 4 May 2026. • Primary contact: Glyn Roberts, (208) 287‑4820, [email protected].
