About this file
This is a Utah Public Procurement Notice for a Sole Source procurement by the Utah State Developmental Center for Arjo Lifts and Slings. The solicitation (Number JH18080SS) was open from 3/16/2018 12:00 PM MST to 3/23/2018 2:00 PM MST, seeking medical equipment specifically patient transfer devices to help move clients during various activities. The procurement is classified under commodity codes 42190 (medical supplies and facility products) and 42192 (patient transport products), and involves specialized medical equipment for client mobility assistance.
The procurement is being pursued through a sole source procurement method, which requires public notice to determine if alternative vendors exist who can provide comparable equipment. The state is seeking to award the contract without standard competitive bidding, potentially due to unique equipment specifications or transitional cost considerations. Interested vendors were invited to submit documentation proving they could provide equivalent or superior products, including details about their capabilities, product specifications, and potential cost comparisons. The notice emphasizes that if no valid challenges are received during the public notice period, the Division of Purchasing may award the contract to the identified vendor without further competition.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A CONTRACTWITHOUT ENGAGING IN A STANDARD PROCUREMENT
PROCESS
The Division of Purchasing is publishing this notice pursuant to the Utah Procurement Code. The Conducting Procurement Unit submitted this form to the Division of Purchasing claiming that it intends to award a contract without competition if it is determined by the Division of Purchasing, 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.
In the Buyer Attachments section the Conducting Procurement Unit has identified its justification for wanting to award a contract without engaging in standard procurement process.
Determination of Other Interested Vendors
The intent of this notice is to determine if there are any other interested and qualified vendors that meet the specifications of this notice. Any such vendors must submit the following information:
• 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.
In addition, a vendor should include:
• 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.
Regardless of any prior communications with the Division of Purchasing or the State, all vendors interested in responding to this notice must submit a response to this posting containing complete responses to all of the information requested above.
DO NOT CONTACT THE CONDUCTING PROCUREMENT UNIT. Any questions regarding this notice, including obtaining additional information, can be obtained through the Division of Purchasing during the publication period. No action is required if you agree with this notice.
If, after the public notice period has passed, the Division of Purchasing determines that there are other interested and qualified vendors that meet the specifications of this notice, the Division of Purchasing will not award a contract pursuant to this notice.
If, after the public notice period has passed, no valid challenges have been received, then the Division of Purchasing may award a contract to the identified vendor without competition.
Please read the entire form very carefully before responding to this notice.
