Toyota Sienna Hybrid with Conversion Kit

The State of Utah is pursuing a non-competitive contract award for a 2024 Toyota Sienna Hybrid Platinum AWD vehicle equipped with a customized adaptive equipment and modification package, totaling an estimated government obligation of $82,990, with additional client-paid fees bringing the full procurement cost to $86,993. This procurement is justified under the Utah Procurement Code as a sole source acquisition due to the unique and individualized accessibility requirements of a federally funded vocational rehabilitation client, where no other vendor can meet the specific functional needs without unreasonable cost or delay. The contract is structured as a direct award without competition, based on documentation demonstrating impracticality of competitive bidding and transitional cost concerns associated with replacing or modifying alternative vehicles. The vehicle will be delivered F.O.B. Destination within Utah, with final acceptance conducted by the State Entity upon inspection to ensure compliance with technical specifications and applicable state and federal regulations including 34 CFR 361.45 and 361.52 governing assistive technology procurement. The contract includes strict compliance requirements such as E-Verify enrollment for all employees, mandatory background checks for personnel accessing state facilities, adherence to the Utah Government Data Privacy Act for confidentiality, and a prohibition on anti-boycott activities targeting Israel. All deliverables are considered work made for hire with full intellectual property rights vested in the State. Payment terms require invoices to be submitted within 30 days of delivery, and the contract may be terminated with 30 days’ written notice for convenience, breach, or funding unavailability. Contractors must certify they are not debarred and agree to notify the State immediately of any change in status. No formal FAR clauses are applied; instead, the contract relies on state-specific provisions for governing law, remedies, termination, indemnity, insurance, and dispute resolution, all governed by Utah law. The solicitation, numbered KR27-2, was posted on July 21, 2026, with responses due by July 29, 2026, and is managed through Utah’s electronic procurement portal with Kaitlyn Riley as the primary point of contact.
