Database Timmons group inc. 5yr

The Utah Division of Purchasing intends to award a five-year sole-source contract to Timmons Group, Inc. for the continued hosting, maintenance, and enhancement of the ULTRA lands database system used by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. This non-competitive award is justified under state procurement rules due to the exclusivity of Timmons Group’s proprietary knowledge of the custom-built system, which was originally developed and deployed by the vendor, making any transition to an alternative provider impractical and cost-prohibitive. The contract, identified by solicitation number JF26-88 and estimated at $250,000 over the base term, includes renewal options but lacks specific details on extension terms or financial caps. Performance is entirely digital, with services delivered via a managed AWS cloud environment, 24/7 remote technical support, and system updates administered through a structured change management process, eliminating the need for physical delivery, packaging, or marking requirements. The procurement bypasses a standard competitive process under Utah Code Section 63G-6a-802 and R33-108-101c, with the justification filed in accordance with state procurement procedures and supported by documentation asserting Timmons Group as the only qualified source. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, formal evaluation factors, or standardized representations such as UEI/CAGE codes or socioeconomic certifications are included, as this is a state-level action governed solely by Utah’s procurement statutes. Contract administration is overseen by the Division of Purchasing with technical guidance from the Department of Natural Resources, though no specific Contracting Officer Representative is named. The vendor’s designated support contact is Nate Tate, and submissions were required via the BonfireHub portal by June 23, 2026, with all performance occurring within the state of Utah.
