About this file
The document is a Sole Source procurement notice from the Utah Public Health Laboratory seeking to procure instrumentation, flow cells, and sample preparation reagents and kits for DNA sequencing using a previously acquired MinION instrument. The solicitation (Number KM20-100) was opened on 6/5/2020 at 3:00 PM MDT and is set to close on 6/12/2020 at 3:00 PM MDT, with the procurement classified under the commodity code 42200 for medical diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine products.
The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition, meaning the Utah Division of Purchasing intends to award the contract without standard competitive bidding. The notice invites potential vendors to submit information challenging the sole source determination by providing documentation of alternative sources, comparable products, or cost comparisons. The contact for this procurement is Kayla Medina, and interested vendors are instructed to submit their responses through the Division of Purchasing, with explicit instructions not to contact the conducting procurement unit directly. 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 CONTRACT WITHOUT 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 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.
