This is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) file for helicopter lift services issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources. The procurement seeks a responsive and responsible vendor to provide helicopter lift services along with a ground crew to transport seven new guzzler tanks, apron materials, and fencing materials to multiple drop locations across the Central Region. The project encompasses five wildlife management areas: Levan Wildlife Management Area, Hobble Creek WMA, Timpanogos WMA, Little Sahara Sand Dunes, and Tintic Valley. Three locations are scheduled for delivery by September 18th, 2026, with the remaining two locations requiring delivery between November 2nd and November 20th, 2026.

The RFQ evaluation will be based solely on objective criteria outlined in the procurement document, with quotes assessed for responsiveness and compliance with specifications as required by the Utah Procurement Code. Bidders must submit a single primary quote only; multiple or alternate quotes will not be accepted, and only the primary bid will be considered if a vendor submits multiple quotes. Any exceptions to the RFQ content or specifications must be formally protested in writing to the Division of Purchasing prior to the closing date. The State reserves the right to solicit additional quotes through email, phone, or other methods permitted under the Utah Procurement Code or applicable Administrative Rules.
