AI Contract Overview
The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) intends to add funds to two existing contracts, USBE220001CT and USBE260003CT, without going through the standard procurement process. This action is justified based on provisions within the Utah Procurement Code, which allow for direct contract awards when there is only one source for the item, when transitional costs are significant, or under other specific circumstances that make a standard process impractical and not in the best interest of the agency. The notice serves to inform the public and solicit any challenges or alternative vendor proposals before the contract is amended, emphasizing that no new contracts are being awarded but rather modifications to current agreements. Interested and qualified vendors who believe they can meet or exceed the specifications or provide comparable goods or services, including matching proprietary items, are invited to submit formal challenges with appropriate documentation. Challenges must include detailed evidence of competing sources and cost comparisons if transitional costs are the primary justification. The notice clearly states it is not a request for proposals or bids, and if no valid challenges arise by the specified deadline, USBE may proceed with awarding additional funds to the current contractors. Questions and challenges must be submitted through the designated Utah Public Procurement Place and Supplier Portal during the public notice period ending May 28, 2026.

Full Description
The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) is publishing this notice in accordance with the Utah Procurement Code and, as authorized by U.C.A. § 63G-6a-802, intends to award a contract without engaging in a standard procurement process if it is determined by the Head of the Procurement Unit for USBE, 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 rulemaking authority, that make awarding the contract through a standard procurement process impractical and not in the best interest of the procurement unit.
In the Files section, USBE has identified its justification for wanting to award a contract without engaging in standard procurement process. You MUST read all of the documentation in the Files.
NOTE: This is a request to add funds to two existing contracts: USBE220001CT and USBE260003CT. There are no new contracts being awarded.
The purpose of this notice is to determine if there are any other interested and qualified vendors that meet the specifications of this notice. Any such vendors wishing to challenge the proposed award must submit the following information:
The name of the contesting person; A detailed explanation of the challenge, including documentation showing that there are other competing sources for the procurement item; Documentation that your firm can provide a comparable or better procurement item that meets or exceeds the specifications; Documentation that your firm can also provide the same proprietary procurement item or an equivalent procurement item; and If transitional costs are identified as the justification for this notice, a comparison of the transitional costs identified in this notice against your firm’s anticipated transitional costs.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, INVITATION FOR BIDS, OR REQUEST FOR QUOTES. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED IF YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED AWARD. Any challenges to the proposed contract award must be submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place portal, and any questions regarding this notice, including requests for additional information, must be submitted through the Supplier Portal during the public notice period.
If, after the public notice period has passed, the Head of the Procurement Unit determines that there are other interested and qualified vendors that meet the specifications of this notice, USBE will not award a contract pursuant to this notice; otherwise, if no valid challenges are received, then USBE may award a contract to the identified vendor without engaging in a standard procurement process.
Please read the entire form very carefully before responding to this notice.
