UTA Unlimited-Use Public Transit Passes

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Region has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source for unlimited-use public transit passes. The Department of the Interior agency is seeking to procure transit services through a fixed-price purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures rather than through full and open competition. The requirement involves providing eligible federal employees with comprehensive transit access across the Wasatch Front region. The estimated contract value is $90,000 for the initial period. Although this is a sole-source procurement, the BLM is inviting interested parties to submit written capability information to inform their final contracting decision. The anticipated award date is December 10, 2025.

The primary objective of this procurement is to provide BLM federal employees with unlimited access to Utah Transit Authority (UTA) services, including bus routes, TRAX light rail, and FrontRunner commuter rail throughout the Wasatch Front corridor. Interested contractors must submit written capability information by December 3, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time to Sarah Hancey at shancey@blm.gov, with the email subject line "2026 Utah Transit Passes Inquiry." The contract structure includes a one-year base period with two optional renewal years. While the BLM currently intends sole-source award to Utah Transit Authority, the agency retains discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on the capabilities demonstrated in received submissions. This Special Notice provides an opportunity for vendors to express interest in providing transit services to federal employees in Utah's public transportation network.
