KHSS25-007 - Intent to Award Contract W/O Engaging in A Procurement Process: RealityWorks

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD CONTRACT WITHOUT ENGAGING IN A STANDARD
 PROCUREMENT PROCESS

The DSD Purchasing Department is publishing this notice pursuant to the Utah Procurement Code. The requesting party submitted the attached form to the Purchasing Department claiming that it intends to award a contract without competition if it is determined by the Purchasing Department, 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.

• The name of the contesting person; and
• 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, submit a cost comparison of the identified transitional costs with your firm's anticipated transitional costs.
