DABS Full Inventory Count

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services, is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for inventory services, with a posted date of May 12, 2026, and a submission deadline of May 20, 2026. This procurement seeks a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor for a one-year Purchase Order basis. The primary deliverable is the provision of full inventory count services, though specific methodologies, scope, and performance metrics are not detailed in the available documentation. Vendors must guarantee their pricing for the entire contract term and submit all responses through the U3P platform. All vendor inquiries and questions must be submitted during the designated question and answer period through the U3P platform, with responses posted publicly. Vendors are prohibited from communicating directly with procurement staff except the designated procurement officer, and late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances. Vendors must complete all required sections and documentation uploads prior to the deadline and certify compliance with all mandatory requirements outlined in the vendor prerequisites documentation.

The solicitation imposes several mandatory compliance requirements and restrictions on prospective vendors, including certification of non-engagement in economic boycotts or boycotts of the State of Israel, verification of non-use of forced labor products, and adherence to restricted foreign entity restrictions. Vendors must also comply with all Standard Terms and Conditions, which are non-negotiable; any bids containing exceptions, additions, or modifications to these terms will be rejected and disqualified, and vendors may not include their own terms and conditions in submitted responses. The documentation does not identify any incumbent contractors, set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, or specific budget ranges for this procurement. Vendors should note that award of the solicitation does not constitute a contract, and no work, material purchases, or subcontract agreements may commence until receipt of a fully executed Purchase Order or contract. The State retains the right to cancel the award and solicitation at any time before execution.
