This is Amendment #1 to a Request for Proposals issued by the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) for a Scholarship Granting Organization to administer the special needs scholarship program. The amendment replaces the original Scope of Work with an updated version and revises Section 13 Project Budget. The RFP, designated USBE-JB26216-RFP, is being conducted in accordance with the Utah Procurement Code and applicable administrative rules. USBE anticipates awarding a single contract to the responsive and responsible offeror with the highest score. The resulting contract will be for a five-year term, though USBE reserves the right to terminate at any time in accordance with the State of Utah Standard Terms and Conditions. The services to be provided are governed by Utah Code 53E-7-4-1 et seq. and Board Rule R277-626-1 et seq., with detailed requirements available in the amended Scope of Work attached to the RFP.

The amendment specifically updates the project budget contained in Section 13 of the Scope of Work, indicating that financial considerations have been revised from the original RFP. Offerors are required to reference the solicitation number on all proposals, correspondence, and documentation submitted to USBE. Communication restrictions among offerors are in place as part of the procurement process. Additional details regarding pricing terms, set-asides, and other salient procurement information are contained in the complete Scope of Work and supporting documentation available through the RFP files section.
