NC26-16 Wood/Brush Disposal Equipment

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, in collaboration with Forestry, Fire and State Lands, is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered NC26-16 for Wood/Brush Disposal Equipment. The primary procurement objective is to acquire a new (not used) Roll-Off Air Curtain Burner, specifically an S116R style unit. This procurement is designed to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. The contract will be effective until product delivery, which is scheduled by October 31st, 2025, with vendors required to guarantee pricing through delivery. The bid was posted on August 20, 2025, with a submission deadline of August 29, 2025. No mandatory site visit is required for this procurement. The solicitation includes three attached documents: purchase order terms and conditions, a scope of work document, and vendor prerequisites, which likely outline specific technical specifications, performance requirements, and vendor qualifications for the air curtain burner equipment.

While the provided documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the procurement appears to be a standard competitive bid open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for the air curtain burner. The procurement documents suggest a focus on vendor responsiveness, responsibility, and the ability to deliver a new, high-quality piece of equipment meeting the state's forestry and land management needs. The contract seems targeted at equipment suppliers specializing in wood and brush disposal technologies, with an emphasis on competitive pricing and meeting precise technical requirements. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available information, the procurement suggests the state is seeking a cost-effective solution for specialized disposal equipment. The lack of a mandatory site visit indicates that vendors are expected to be familiar with the equipment specifications and can submit bids based on the provided documentation without requiring on-site assessment.
