About this file
This document is a sole source justification letter from ACT Education Corp. to the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) regarding the ACT College Readiness Assessment contract. The letter, dated August 14, 2026, and addressed to Scott Roskelley, Test Administration and Data Coordinator at USBE, establishes that ACT is the exclusive owner and licensor of all ACT assessment materials, including skill definitions, test documents, questions, answer choices, administration materials, data, scores, reports, and related derivatives. ACT asserts that these materials are proprietary, protected by copyright and trademark, and must be procured directly from ACT as the sole source provider.
The justification supports USBE's intent to award a contract without engaging in a standard procurement process under Utah Code 63G-6a-802, based on the determination that only one source exists for the procurement item. The letter serves as official documentation that ACT holds exclusive rights to the assessment materials and establishes the basis for bypassing competitive bidding. ACT designated Audra Ahumada, Sr. Program Director, as the primary contact for questions or additional information regarding the procurement.
