Awarded vendors
- CRI Advantage, Inc.
Description
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture is seeking a one‑time, non‑competitive exemption to award a software enhancement to CRI Advantage, Inc. for the state’s Livestock Traceability System. The enhancement adds a Trichomoniasis Test Form for out‑of‑state producers, limited to 95 billable hours and priced at $7,905. The agency argues that the proprietary nature of the existing system and the need to avoid delays justify a sole‑source award under IDAPA authority.
• Scope: Development, testing, and deployment of a new disease‑testing form within the Idaho Livestock Trace Database.
• Value: Fixed‑price $7,905 covering ≤ 95 hours of labor.
• Vendor: CRI Advantage, Inc., the original developer of the system, identified as the sole source.
• Justification: Proprietary source code, prior contract history, and the impracticality of onboarding a new vendor.
• Timeline: Request generated 2026‑05‑19, recorded 2026‑05‑20; work to commence shortly after approval.
