COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE CATEGORY (Check applicable box, attach documentation or provide explanation below.)
Maricopa County Procurement Code MC1-351 states: “Competition Impracticable” means an acquisition where, competition is
impractical because of standardization, warranty, or other factors as approved by the Board of Supervisors.
NOTE: The following are unlikely to be sufficient Competition Impracticable justifications:
• Personal or department preference for a product or vendor
• Department perception that the vendor is the best qualified (this should be determined through a competitive process)
• Lack of department planning resulting in limited time to conduct a competitive procurement
• Special incentive or deal offered (can be assessed in open and competitive solicitation)
• Department convenience
Grant specified (supporting documents attached) Software license renewals, additions, or upgrades available
from only one source
Mailing lists, subscriptions or media advertising Brand compatibility available from only one source (no other
distributors)
Warranty voided if service provided by other contract vendor Other proprietary situation

THIS IS A COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT BECAUSE (attach additional page if needed):
Intoxilizer instruments are the accepted device used in litigation regarding the arrest, and prosecution of DUI offenses in Arizona. CMI, Inc,
is the sole manufacturer and distributor for Intoxilizer 9000 breath alcohol testing instruments, accessories, and spare replacement parts for
law enforcement.
The AZ DPS is waiting for MCSO to obtain this device to begin training MCSO on its use. AZ Administrative Code (R13-10-103E) governed
by DPS, outlines devices that are approved by the Director for evidentiary use in prosecution of alcohol DUI offenses. This device will be
the the new standard used in DUI prosecutions, replacing the aging Intoxilizer 8000, currently in use and being phazed out.
GOHS provided MCSO Prop 207 grant funding specifically earmarked for the purchase of and upgrade to the Intoxilizer 9000 devices for
use in alcohol DUI detection and prosecution.
$5,000 has been added to the request to cover the cost of required supplies purchased throughout the year. These items are not covered
by the grant and will be purchased from the general fund.
