Contract 246039 amendment 2 funds increase

The Utah Division of Purchasing has issued a notice of intent to award Contract 246039, Amendment 2, a funds increase under a non-competitive procurement process, citing justifications permitted under the Utah Procurement Code. The contracting unit, the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking approval to increase the contract value by $78,000 to expand marketing efforts for the 988 suicide prevention campaign, raising the total estimated contract value from $2.5 million to $2.584 million. The procurement is being conducted without competition based on the rationale that transitional costs are significant and that continuing with the existing vendor, Bonneville Communication Corporation, is necessary to maintain program continuity and effectiveness. The solicitation number associated with this action is JM26-99, with a response deadline of June 12, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Jayden May at [email hidden]. The scope of work involves the development and execution of a media and social marketing campaign targeting Utah residents, with delivery terms specified as F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid, and no additional freight costs to the state. No detailed line-item pricing, performance metrics, inspection criteria, or technical specifications are provided beyond the general objective of expanding public awareness and outreach. The contract does not incorporate any Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses or federal contracting standards, as it operates entirely under Utah state procurement procedures. No formal FAR-style contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or special conditions such as security clearances or key personnel specifications are included or referenced. The documentation relies on narrative justifications to meet statutory exceptions under R33-108-101c for bypassing competitive bidding, with supporting materials such as cost-benefit analyses and public notice exemptions referenced but not attached to the notice. The vendor is identified as Bonneville Communication Corporation, though no Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are provided. A mandatory certification regarding compliance with Utah’s Anti-Boycott provisions is implied in the process but confirmation of the vendor’s affirmative response is not documented. Payment methods, contracting officer details, COR/COTR information, and accounting codes like TAS or ACRN are absent. The procurement is administratively managed through an online portal with submissions required in the Files section, and no formal structured submission guidelines, page limits, or file type restrictions are specified beyond the requirement for comprehensive and complete documentation.
