SSA - Trimble Geospatial data collection equipment

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is seeking a five‑year, sole‑source contract to purchase Trimble geospatial data‑collection hardware for use across its six districts. Trimble Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the required equipment, and the agency has identified a total anticipated cost of $1.5 million. The procurement is justified on the basis that no other vendor can provide a compatible, warranty‑backed solution for the agency’s existing Trimble field systems, and the state anticipates future renewals after the initial term. • Hardware: Trimble geospatial positioning and mapping devices for surveying, construction, and infrastructure management. • Term: 5 years with an expectation of renewal. • Funding: $1.5 million total (approximately $300 k per year). • Sole‑source justification: Only Trimble can supply the patented, factory‑authorized equipment compatible with ITD’s current fleet. • Key contacts: Denise Cooley (ITD procurement lead) and Trimble’s senior sales manager, Martin Morel.
