BD27-116 Bison Pipe Fencing Components for Little Hole

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of Wildlife Resources, is requesting bids for bison pipe fencing components under IFB BD27-116, with bids due October 9, 2026 and delivery required by October 15, 2026. This is a hard-deadline, compressed-timeline procurement with a firm delivery date that allows no post-award slippage.

The scope comprises 1,750 linear feet of bison pipe fencing materials for the Little Hole Wildlife Management Area near Vernal, Utah, including 400 rails, 145 jacks, 3 rail fence jacks, and 2 three-piece jack corner sets. Corner components must pivot 90–180 degrees and meet wildlife-friendly standards. Delivery is to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources facility at 3116 South 500 West, Vernal, UT 84078.

The total project budget is $32,000. Vendors must guarantee pricing through the October 15th delivery date; any price adjustment request requires at least thirty days' notice and supporting market analysis documentation. This is an IFB with anticipated single award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

All questions must be submitted through the State of Utah's U3P online portal during the designated Q&A period. Vendors are prohibited from communicating directly with procurement staff or evaluation committee members outside the designated portal. Bids containing exceptions or additions to standard terms and conditions will be rejected as non-responsive. Vendors must certify compliance with Utah Code requirements regarding boycott restrictions, forced labor prohibitions, and restrictions on foreign entities. Pricing is considered public information and cannot be claimed as confidential; other proprietary information may be claimed as confidential under a Claim of Business Confidentiality with redacted and non-redacted versions submitted. Award notification does not constitute a contract; only a fully executed purchase order or contract creates a binding agreement, and vendors may not commence work or procure materials until receiving an executed contract.
