The Idaho Military Division seeks to maintain a student management database through a direct‑award contract with FolderWave. After a 2021 competitive solicitation yielded no bids, an exemption from competition was granted, allowing the agency to continue with an annual $75,000 service arrangement for system setup, hosting, support, and maintenance. The exemption request was submitted on July 20 2026 and approved (pending legal notice) on July 27 2026. Key points include:
• Scope: installation, configuration, hosting, ongoing technical support, and possible data migration for a student management database.
• Vendor: FolderWave (sole source), with a contracted annual cost of $75,000.
• Procurement: Exemption from competition based on prior no‑bid solicitation; classified as a sole‑source award under IDAPA 38.05.01.042.05.
