Corrections X-Ray Maintenance

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation number MG22-43 for x-ray machine maintenance services at the Utah Department of Corrections facilities in Draper and Gunnison. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive maintenance and support for x-ray equipment across two state prison locations. Bidders must demonstrate at least three years of experience maintaining x-ray machines and provide documentation of technician training. The solicitation includes three primary service line items: a portal-to-portal rate for Draper Prison, a portal-to-portal rate for Gunnison Prison, and an hourly labor rate for technicians. The bid was opened on 4/13/2022 and will close on 5/4/2022 at 2:00 PM MDT, with the intent to award a five-year contract (though the Draper portion will only extend until June 30th, 2022). Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, with the state selecting the lowest cost, responsive, and responsible bidder. The contract allows for potential modifications to incorporate new technology or technological upgrades, and additional legislative funding may be added if appropriated.

The solicitation includes several important vendor qualifications and restrictions, requiring bidders to certify they are not engaged in a boycott of Israel, have no financial ties to OFAC sanctions list entities, and are not currently debarred or suspended by any governmental agency. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The contract does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though it encompasses maintenance services for x-ray equipment at two state correctional facilities. The procurement appears open to qualified private sector vendors with appropriate technical expertise in x-ray machine maintenance and repair. The contract's flexibility includes potential technological upgrades and the possibility of additional funding, suggesting the state is seeking a adaptable and responsive maintenance solution for its corrections facility x-ray equipment.
