236349

The Utah Division of Purchasing has issued a notice of intent to award Contract CS27-7 without competitive bidding, citing justification under the Utah Procurement Code for bypassing standard procurement procedures. The conducting unit has asserted that one or more of the statutory criteria apply—such as the existence of a single qualified source, significant transitional costs tied to continuing with an existing provider, or impracticality of a competitive process under current circumstances. The justification for this non-competitive award is documented in theFiles section and must be reviewed to understand the rationale. The contract, identified under reference number 236349, is managed by the Utah agency and will be awarded to a sole provider whose continued service is deemed essential due to operational continuity or unique capabilities. No set-aside type or NAICS code is specified, indicating the procurement falls outside typical small business or industry classifications. All responses must be submitted by August 10, 2026, at 8:00 PM MT, and the primary point of contact is Charm Siddoway at csiddoway@utah.gov. The opportunity is posted on Utah’s Bonfire Hub platform, and no formal bidding is expected unless the Division of Purchasing determines the justification insufficient.
