About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Contract Without Engaging in a Standard Procurement Process issued by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). The notice indicates that UDOT intends to proceed with a sole source procurement based on one or more of the following conditions: the existence of only one source for the procurement item, significant transitional costs as a consideration in selecting a procurement item, or circumstances that make a standard procurement process impractical and not in the best interest of the procurement unit. The notice serves as a public comment period to determine whether other interested and qualified suppliers exist that meet the requirements of this procurement. Specific details regarding the proposed procurement, including the justification for the sole source determination, are contained in attached documentation. Interested parties must submit challenges prior to the posted closing date and time (Mountain Time) by emailing jefferybarnes@utah.gov if they dispute the sole source designation or wish to propose alternative sources.
Suppliers challenging the sole source determination must provide their company name and a detailed explanation of the challenge with supporting documentation demonstrating the existence of competing sources or their firm's capability to provide comparable, equivalent, or superior procurement items meeting or exceeding the requirements. If transitional costs are identified as the justification, challenging suppliers should submit a cost comparison analysis. No action is required from parties who agree with the sole source determination. Following the public notice period, if no valid challenges are received, UDOT may proceed to award the contract to the identified supplier without competition. If valid challenges are received demonstrating other capable suppliers, UDOT will not award a contract pursuant to this notice and will pursue alternative procurement methods.
