PAR132050 Dura Edge Baseball Infield Mix - Sole Source

Salt Lake County is pursuing a sole source procurement for Dura Edge Baseball Infield Mix to maintain and improve the condition of its athletic fields without full replacement of existing surfaces. The requested material must have a composition of approximately 70% sand and 30% clay/silt to compatibly blend with the current infield mix, which is approximately 65% sand and 35% clay/silt, ensuring stability, proper drainage, and ease of maintenance while avoiding excessively compacted, brick-like surfaces that result from higher clay content. The procurement aims to address a critical and immediate need, with plans to top dress four or more fields annually under a proactive rotation schedule. The estimated annual budget is $50,000, with a proposed contract duration of five years. The solicitation, identified as PAR132050 and categorized under NAICS code 459110, was posted on June 16, 2026, and responses or objections must be submitted directly to Matt Bass at [email hidden] by June 23, 2026, before 1:00 p.m. MDT. Parties dissenting with the sole source determination are instructed to voice their concerns by the deadline. The notice explicitly prohibits submission through the Utah Public Procurement Portal and emphasizes compliance with Utah’s Governmental Records and Access Management Act, whereby submissions are protected until contract execution or two years after the RFI issuance, with trade secrets and commercial information safeguarded under applicable state statutes.
