Contract 226392 AMD 1

The Division of Purchasing for the State of Utah has issued a notice of intent to award Contract 226392 AMD 1 without competition under Utah Procurement Code provisions, citing impracticality of a standard procurement process and the need to address previously completed but unamended work. The contract modification pertains to unplanned software services provided by Voxware, Inc. for the Voxware voice-picking application, including four specific deliverables: amending the outbound pick message interface, adding audio feedback for printer recognition, providing smoke test and go-live support during a holiday weekend, and implementing Spanish language dialogs. These services were performed without formal amendment and later invoiced for a total of $35,946.99, which was applied as a retroactive increase to the original contract value, raising the total estimated value from $320,400 to $356,347. The justification for non-competitive award relies on Utah Administrative Rule R33-108-101c, which permits sole-source contracting when competition is impractical, and transitional cost concerns have been cited as a factor in maintaining continuity with the existing vendor. No formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, competitive evaluation factors, or standard contract type designations were applied; instead, internal Utah state procurement forms and justifications governed the process. The place of performance is in Utah, with no specified delivery dates or formal period of performance, and the invoicing method, payment details, accounting codes, and contracting officer representatives are not identified in the documentation. The vendor, Voxware, Inc., has been referenced through invoice records but no Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are provided. The procurement unit completed the required Section A–F forms to justify sole-source action, including requests for contract extension and funding increase, but no section for special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest provisions was included. Submission of this justification was required by the specified response deadline of July 30, 2026, and all documentation must be reviewed by the Division of Purchasing for final approval to proceed without public competition.
