The Utah Division of Purchasing has issued a notice of intent to award a contract without competition for GAMS software to support the ReEDS electricity system capacity planning and dispatch model, under solicitation number BD26-81. The procurement is designated as a sole source under NAICS code 541511, based on the determination that only one vendor can provide the required software, which is essential for maintaining continuity and operational compatibility with existing ReEDS modeling infrastructure developed in Python, GAMS, and Julia. The software license includes the GAMS/Base Module and two GAMS/CPLEX updates, configured for a single unnamed floating user on a network with support for up to 26 cores, under license ID DC17209, with an estimated total contract value of $32,000. The proposed contract term is one year with renewal options for four additional years, and the quoted price includes annual maintenance, support, and free updates with no auto-renewal; renewal costs are estimated at $7,820 per year from 2028 through 2031. Performance will occur in Utah under F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid terms, with no freight cost incurred. The acquisition process adheres to Utah Procurement Code provisions permitting non-competitive awards when only one source exists, and vendors are prohibited from contacting the conducting procurement unit directly. Interested parties may challenge the sole source determination during a public notice period ending June 17, 2026, by submitting a detailed explanation with evidence that an alternative vendor can provide a comparable or superior product meeting all technical specifications, including documentation of equivalent functionality or transitional cost comparisons. All submissions must comply with Utah’s business confidentiality requirements under state code § 63G-2-305, which mandates simultaneous submission of redacted and non-redacted versions of proposals with a concise justification for protection of trade secrets, and prohibits complete redaction. Additionally, vendors must certify compliance with state anti-boycott statutes, affirming they are not engaged in an economic boycott or boycott of Israel, and the procurement is covered under TAA Approval RITM027806. No inspection, packaging, or administrative details are specified, and award is contingent upon the Division of Purchasing confirming no valid challenges exist after the notice period.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT WITHOUT ENGAGING IN A STANDARD PROCUREMENT PROCESS
The Division of Purchasing is publishing this notice pursuant to the Utah Procurement Code. The Conducting Procurement Unit submitted this form to the Division of Purchasing claiming that it intends to award a contract without competition if it is determined by the Division of Purchasing, in writing, that:
- there is only one source for the procurement item; - transitional costs are a significant consideration in selecting a procurement item; or - the award of a contract is under circumstances, described in rules adopted by the applicable rulemaking authority, that make awarding the contract through a standard procurement process impractical and not in the best interest of the procurement unit.
In the Files section the Conducting Procurement Unit has identified its justification for wanting to award a contract without engaging in standard procurement process. You MUST read all of the documentation in the Files.

Solicitation # DC2026-06
Davis County, Utah, is seeking a vendor to replace its current on-premises Avaya phone system with a comprehensive cloud-based solution for approximately 1,200 users by May 1, 2027. The required system must support a mix of on-premises and remote users and include unified communications capabilities such as IP telephony, SIP trunking, hosted IP PBX, voice and video conferencing, instant messaging, network fax services, and SMS texting. Key technical requirements include remote worker applications for mobile and desktop, advanced vectoring for ring groups and queues, spoofing protection, spam filtering, and API integrations for custom applications. Vendors must also provide a compatibility analysis and replacement recommendations for existing Avaya J179 SIP phones. The procurement process utilizes a two-tier evaluation where vendors must achieve a minimum technical score of 80% to proceed to the cost evaluation. Technical scoring heavily weights the implementation approach and schedule at 50%, followed by client references and customer support capabilities. Proposals are due by September 14, 2026, and must include specific certifications regarding debarment and the boycott of the State of Israel, as well as registration with the Utah Department of Commerce. Awarded vendors must maintain significant insurance coverages, including 1 million dollars for commercial general liability and automobile liability, and must strictly adhere to Utah's Government Data Privacy Act regarding the handling of personal data.
