BB26-10, Medical Waste Disposal

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for medical waste disposal services, specifically seeking a contractor to provide infectious medical waste removal, transportation, and disposal services at the DHHS Central Utah Correctional Facility. This solicitation (BB26-10) aims to establish a single contract award for a five-year term, with vendors required to guarantee pricing throughout the contract period. The procurement will utilize a comprehensive evaluation methodology that includes 500 technical points and 55.60 cost points, with vendors needing to achieve a minimum score of 300 technical points (60%) to be considered for award. Proposals are due by December 19, 2025, and must be submitted through the U3P platform, with all questions to be submitted during the specified question and answer period. Vendors must comply with Utah Code Annotated 63G-6a and Administrative Code R33, and are prohibited from communicating with procurement staff except through the designated procurement officer. The evaluation process will involve an initial responsiveness review, followed by a technical evaluation and a cost evaluation, with the highest-scoring responsive and responsible vendor receiving the contract.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation for disadvantaged enterprises or restricted vendor categories. However, vendors must certify compliance with anti-boycott provisions under UCA 63G-27 and confirm they are not providing forced labor products or services from restricted foreign entities. Vendors claiming business confidentiality must submit a Claim of Business Confidentiality form and provide both redacted and non-redacted versions of their responses. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement allows for potential price adjustments with at least thirty days' notice and supporting market analysis documentation, subject to approval by the Director of the Division of Purchasing. Product samples may be required at the vendor's expense and will not be returned unless specifically requested before the stated deadline. The contract is structured to select a single vendor capable of meeting the medical waste disposal requirements for the correctional facility, with a focus on comprehensive service delivery and competitive pricing.
