4-NAMI quote Redacted.pdf

This is a quote document from NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) submitted to the State of Utah's Division of Purchasing in support of Contract 256230 Amendment 4, which requests an increase in funding for an existing contract. The document outlines NAMI's pricing for services related to mental health support and advocacy programs. The quote provides itemized costs for various service components that NAMI proposes to deliver, with specific line items detailing the scope of work and associated expenses. The document is presented in a redacted format, indicating that certain proprietary or sensitive pricing information has been removed from the publicly available version. This quote serves as the justification for the conducting procurement unit's request to award the contract without engaging in a standard competitive procurement process, likely based on the rationale that NAMI is the sole source provider for these specialized mental health services or that transitional costs make competition impractical.

The pricing structure in the NAMI quote establishes the financial basis for the funding increase being requested in Amendment 4. The document demonstrates that the incumbent contractor (NAMI) has submitted detailed cost information supporting the contract expansion or service enhancement. By submitting this non-competitive award notice, Utah's Division of Purchasing is asserting that awarding additional funding to the existing NAMI contract is in the best interest of the state under circumstances that make standard procurement impractical, potentially due to the specialized nature of mental health services, the continuity of existing programs, or established relationships with the provider that create significant transitional costs if a new vendor were selected.
