DHHS Emergency Placement Short-Term Shelter

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued an Invitation for Applications for an Emergency Placement Short-Term Shelter contract, seeking providers to support critical shelter services. The procurement targets personal care facilities and health care facility administration, with a specific focus on emergency placement capabilities. The solicitation was posted on October 1, 2024, with an application deadline of October 10, 2024, at 10:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time. Interested parties must submit applications via email to Susan Stengel at susanstengel@utah.gov, with all solicitation documents available on the DHHS Purchasing site. Potential vendors are required to submit any questions through the SciQuest platform, where official responses will be subsequently posted. The contract appears to involve comprehensive emergency shelter services, though specific detailed requirements are not fully elaborated in the available documentation.

The procurement documents do not explicitly outline set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available materials. The solicitation does not provide clear guidance on organizational restrictions or preferences for potential respondents. No information is presented regarding existing infrastructure, technology integration requirements, or specific qualifications beyond the general description of emergency placement and short-term shelter services. The extraordinarily long due date of December 31, 2099, suggests this may be a placeholder or template document, and potential vendors should carefully review all supplemental materials for precise contract specifications and requirements.
