8-Att F - Protest Information.docx

This is a Protest Information attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the State of Utah for the Walk-In Building Supplies portfolio under the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing program, solicitation number AS26-68. The RFP seeks to re-solicit walk-in building supplies for a national cooperative contract with a five-year term expiring July 31, 2027. The resulting Master Agreement(s) will provide convenience purchases at retail locations with contract discounts applied at the time of purchase. Multiple awards are anticipated, with any offeror achieving a technical score of 600 points or higher receiving an award. Both national vendors and state-by-state offerors are eligible to respond. Proposals must be submitted through the U3P Platform (Bonfire); Utah will not accept submissions by email or traditional mail.

The protest information attachment directs offerors to Utah Code Part 16 and Utah Administrative Code Rule R16 for the state's complete protest law, procedures, and requirements. Offerors filing protests are solely responsible for locating, understanding, and complying with all applicable protest procedures in effect at the time of filing. The attachment notes that protest procedures may be updated and amended without notice, and it includes references to official state resources where detailed protest processes are documented. Vendors must guarantee their minimum percentage discount throughout the contract term.
