AI Contract Overview
Granite School District is issuing a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Lexia Voyager Sopris Inc. for the purchase of Language! Live, a comprehensive literacy intervention program designed for adolescent students with significant reading deficits, including those in special education. The award bypasses a competitive procurement process under Utah law because the district has determined that Language! Live is the only available source that meets its specific instructional needs, combining teacher-led instruction, student workbooks, digital resources, embedded assessments, and progress monitoring into a unified structured literacy framework aligned with the Science of Reading. The procurement covers an initial five-year term starting July 7, 2026, with the intent to renew annually through July 2031, at an estimated annual expenditure of $75,000. Any vendor wishing to challenge the sole-source determination must submit detailed documentation via email to Adar Livni-Sullivan by June 25, 2026, including proof of alternative sources, equivalent or superior product capability, and a cost comparison if transitional expenses are cited as justification. The contract includes standard terms requiring delivery F.O.B. destination with all shipping costs borne by the vendor, inspection and acceptance periods of 30 days, and a 14-day cure period for identified defects. Payments will be made within 30 days of receipt of a correct invoice, provided no tax is included due to the district’s tax-exempt status, and late payments may accrue interest per the Utah Prompt Payment Act. The contractor must comply with state and federal employment laws, maintain required insurance coverage including workers’ compensation, commercial general liability, and commercial automobile liability, and certify participation in E-Verify for all Utah-based employees. All data, invoices, and contract documentation are subject to public records disclosure, and the contractor must retain records for at least six years after final payment for audit purposes. The contract prohibits assignment without district approval, requires compliance with Utah ethics laws, and includes a certification that the vendor is not engaged in any economic boycott of Israel. No formal statement of work or line-item pricing is provided, but all deliveries must be made directly to the district and are subject to formal acceptance before payment.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD WITHOUT ENGAGING IN A STANDARD PROCUREMENT PROCESS
The Utah Procurement Code provides that a purchase may be made without engaging in a standard procurement process if it can be determined 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 rule making authority, that make awarding the contract through a standard procurement process impractical and not in the best interest of the procurement unit.
Granite School District Purchasing Department has received a request to make the following award without engaging in a standard procurement process:
Requesting School/Department: Special Education Programs
Product and/or service to be purchased: Language! Live
Earliest date purchase may occur: 07/07/2026
Proposed Supplier: Lexia Voyager Sopris Inc.
Justification:
* There is only one source for the procurement item. Language Live! is a comprehensive literacy intervention program specifically designed for adolescent students with significant reading deficits, including students with dyslexia and students receiving special education services. The program integrates explicit instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, writing, and comprehension into a single structured literacy framework aligned with the Science of Reading and the principles of Structured Literacy. Unlike many intervention products that focus primarily on comprehension, adaptive software, or isolated skill development, Language Live combines teacher-led instruction, student workbooks, digital resources, embedded assessments, progress monitoring, and intervention supports into a unified instructional model specifically designed for secondary students reading significantly below grade level.
Length of notice: Granite School District intends to purchase these products for the next five years, thus this notification will be considered official notification for the subsequent five years through July 2031
Anticipated expenditure: Approximately $75,000 annually
