Clean Room Compliance and Certification Services

University of Utah Health is seeking a qualified vendor to provide clean room compliance and certification services across multiple pharmacy sites through Request for Proposal #04082025MC. The procurement covers comprehensive testing and certification services for clean rooms at facilities including University Hospital, Huntsman Cancer Hospital, Farmington Health Center, South Jordan Health Center, Moran Eye Center, and several other pharmacy locations. The selected vendor must be certified by the Controlled Environment Testing Association (CETA) and CETA National Board of Testing, and will be responsible for routine testing of primary and secondary engineering controls every six months. Specific required services include pressure balancing, air exchange monitoring, particle sampling, HEPA filter monitoring, and exhaust adjustment, all in compliance with USP standards and Utah Board of Pharmacy regulations. The proposal will be evaluated across four key criteria: Ability to Meet Scope of Work (25 points), Experience and Qualifications (25 points), Customer Service and Technical Support (30 points), and Cost Proposal (20 points). Proposal inquiries are due by 05/23/2025, with final proposals due by 05/30/2025. The anticipated contract term is five years, with an effective date of 06/15/2025.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the solicitation indicates that the successful vendor will need to integrate with existing clean room infrastructure across multiple University of Utah Health facilities. The cost proposal document suggests that pricing will be competitive, with the lowest bidder receiving 100% of available price points and other bidders receiving proportional points. The comprehensive nature of the testing requirements, which include detailed assessments of various room types such as workrooms, ante rooms, positive and negative cleanrooms, BSL2 rooms, and HD storage areas, implies a potentially significant contract value. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the extensive scope of services across multiple facilities suggests this will be a substantial contract for the selected vendor.
