AI Contract Overview
The Utah State Board of Education intends to award a one-year sole source contract for the Acadience Math Early Numeracy Assessment for the 2026–27 school year without conducting a competitive procurement process, citing impracticality as the justification under Utah state procurement law. The assessment tool is critical for providing universal screening three times annually to all students in grades K–6, identifying those scoring below or well below benchmark who require additional instructional support in early mathematics skills, with the primary goal of preventing later math difficulties. The contract exists solely to maintain continuity of an existing program while the Board evaluates future directions for its early numeracy assessment initiative, and no renewal options are available. The solicitation number is USBE-CC26664-ACW, classified under NAICS code 611691, and was publicly posted on June 19, 2026, with a response deadline of June 25, 2026. All challenges must be submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place Portal and must include documentation proving the existence of other qualified vendors capable of providing an equivalent or superior solution, along with a comparison of transitional costs if applicable. No pricing details, contract value, or specific performance location are provided, and the notice explicitly states it is not a request for proposals, bids, or quotes. The procuring office is located in Utah, and the primary point of contact is Camille Clarke. No contract clauses, delivery requirements, inspection procedures, or representations are detailed in the supporting documentation, as the process is limited to public notice and challenge review prior to a non-competitive award.
