Dylan Latimer

Dylan Latimer serves as a procurement professional within the Utah state agency, supporting the acquisition of critical services and supplies that underpin public infrastructure and municipal operations. Though not holding a formal contracting title, Latimer plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to modernize public assets by facilitating timely and compliant procurements for non-construction support services. Their work centers on managing solicitations and contract awards for professional, administrative, and facility maintenance services, ensuring alignment with state and federal procurement regulations. Latimer’s responsibilities include evaluating vendor proposals, ensuring technical compliance, and coordinating with program stakeholders to meet operational needs across transportation, utilities, and institutional facilities. Latimer maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships, engaging with diverse suppliers across service sectors including janitorial, translation, automotive repair, and management consulting. While no single contractor dominates their award portfolio, Latimer consistently collaborates with small and mid-sized firms capable of delivering high-quality, scalable support services. Relationships are built on performance reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to state procurement standards, fostering a competitive and transparent vendor ecosystem. Latimer’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing capability and cost-effectiveness over program-specific certifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, the nature of the services procured naturally attracts small and local vendors due to their specialized, localized delivery requirements. The agency’s primary procurement focus lies in five NAICS categories: administrative management consulting, translation and interpretation services, janitorial services, automotive body and interior repair, and office furniture manufacturing. These reflect a strategic emphasis on sustaining day-to-day operational efficiency across public facilities, with Latimer ensuring that procurements align with technical specifications for durability, safety, and service continuity in municipal environments.
