About this file
This is a Question and Answer document for a website migration and redesign RFP (GJ26-95) issued by Southwest Technical College (STECH) in Utah. The project involves migrating and redesigning approximately 200 informational pages currently hosted on a self-hosted Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 T2.medium instance. STECH requires the vendor to maintain the existing URL structure to preserve current search engine rankings. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by February 28, 2026, and proposals must be submitted by March 1, 2026, to Karyn Keanaaina at kkeanaaina@stech.edu. The timeline has some flexibility beyond the handover dates, which will be determined following vendor selection. This is a courtesy posting from the Division of Purchasing; the actual procurement is conducted by Southwest Technical College, and contract award notifications will not be posted on the Division's website.
Regarding business eligibility and compliance, vendors without a current Utah business license may submit proposals but must obtain the license before contract execution. STECH does not permit procurement from restricted foreign entities as defined under Utah State Procurement regulations effective January 1, 2025, which prohibit engagement with companies owned or controlled by China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, as well as entities on designated lists maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense, Commerce, or Federal Communications Commission. Any vendor utilizing labor from other countries must certify compliance with these restrictions. No pricing information, set-asides, or incumbent contractor details are specified in this question and answer document.

Question and Answer Ver 2/13/2026
1. How many pages does the current site have?
1A. We currently have around 200 pages on our website.
2. What’s the primary use of the site today — is it mainly informational, or is it transactional in any way?
2A. It is mainly informational. Any transactions occur on separate portals provided by other entities.
3. Is your website hosting being provided by a service provider, or is it self-hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
3A. Our website is self-hosted on AWS.
4. Do you already know what Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance/environment you plan to run?
4A. Yes. We are currently hosting an EC2, using a T2.medium instance.
5. Should stech.edu retain the existing URL structure?
5A. Yes. That is preferred to maintain current rankings.
6. Is your timeline set in stone, or is there some flexibility as long as your handover dates remain the same?
6A. We may have some flexibility in the timeline, but that will be discussed and determined after a vendor is awarded the contract.
7. We are currently not licensed to do business in Utah. Would it be acceptable for us to obtain the required license for the State of Utah after our proposal is shortlisted or after the contract is awarded?
7A. You may submit a proposal to the RFP without a Utah business license. However, that license must be obtained before Southwest Tech agrees to enter into a contract.
8. Does the RFP permit offshore development teams, and are agencies outside specific geographic regions eligible to participate?
8A. As of January 1, 2025, Utah State Procurement Units may not procure technology or technology services from a restricted foreign entity or a forced labor product. The definitions of each of those terms are below:
(a) "Forced labor" means labor from a child or an adult that is obtained through the use of force or coercion.
(b) "Forced labor product" means a product that was made:
(i) using forced labor; or
(ii) includes a component that was made using forced labor.
(c) "Restricted foreign entity" means:
(i) a company that is owned or directly controlled by the government of China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia;
(ii) a company that the United States Secretary of Defense is required to list as a military company under the requirements of federal national defense authorization acts;
(iii) an affiliate of a company described in Subsection (1)(c)(i) or (1)(c)(ii);
(iv) a company, entity, or other subsidiary headquartered in the country with a commercial or defense industrial base of which a company described in Subsection (1)(c)(ii) is a part;
(v) a company appearing on the designated entity lists of the United States Department of Defense, United States Department of Commerce, or the Federal Communications Commission; or
(vi) a subsidiary of a company described in Subsection (1)(c)(i), (1)(c)(ii), or (1)(c)(v) or a country, company, or other entity described in Subsection (1)(c)(iv).
Any vendor using labor from other countries will have to certify that they meet these conditions if they would like to contract with any state procurement unit.
