Athletic Trainer Medical Supplies

Snow College, through the Utah Public Procurement Place, issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Athletic Trainer Medical Supplies on June 13, 2019, with a bid closing date of June 21, 2019. The procurement seeks comprehensive medical and athletic training supplies, encompassing 72 different product line items including medical supplies such as ibuprofen, hydrocortisone cream, athletic tape, exam gloves, various braces, shoulder slings, crutches, medical tapes, and wound care products. Bidders were required to submit a W9 form and vendor registration form, and agree to Snow College's terms and conditions. Partial bidding was acceptable, allowing vendors to submit bids for specific items rather than the entire catalog. All costs were mandated to be included in item pricing, with shipping costs required to be incorporated for each individual item. Vendors were prohibited from uploading additional terms and conditions, and all questions were to be submitted through the procurement portal.

The contract was ultimately awarded to two vendors: Henry Schein Inc and Centennial Sales Inc, with items allocated to the lowest bidders. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement process allowed for flexible participation from multiple vendors. The bid covered quantities ranging from 1 to 100 units per item, with specific sizes and types detailed for many products. Although a precise total contract value was not specified, the comprehensive nature of the medical supplies and the involvement of multiple vendors suggest a significant procurement investment. The solicitation demonstrated a structured approach to acquiring athletic and medical supplies, focusing on comprehensive coverage and competitive pricing for Snow College's medical and athletic training needs.
