Oak Tree Guzzler Apron Materials Kit

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing and Division of Wildlife Resources issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for an Oak Tree Guzzler Apron Materials Kit, specifically solicitation JH20-109, which was open from February 26, 2020, to March 9, 2020. The procurement sought materials for constructing one (1) big game guzzler apron materials kit, to be delivered to the Southern Region DWR Office in Cedar City, Utah. Vendors were required to provide a comprehensive materials kit meeting detailed specifications outlined in the Scope of Work attachment, with delivery costs included in the total price. The solicitation required vendors to maintain applicable federal, state, and local licenses, certify product specifications, and comply with Utah state procurement regulations. Commodity codes for this procurement included storage vessels, welding equipment, containers, structural components, and industrial construction services, with vendors expected to demonstrate responsiveness and adherence to strict submission guidelines. The procurement process emphasized vendor compliance with state procurement standards, with the winning vendor required to deliver the kit within 30 days of bid award.

A&J Fabrication was ultimately awarded the contract on March 17, 2020, following the competitive bidding process. While specific set-aside designations were not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appeared to follow standard state procurement protocols that typically provide opportunities for diverse vendors. The solicitation covered Iron County and was limited to vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for the guzzler apron materials kit. No specific budget range was provided in the documentation, though the procurement was for a single materials kit with delivery to Cedar City. The contract emphasized technical compliance, vendor qualifications, and the ability to provide specialized materials for wildlife infrastructure development. Standard state procurement practices likely required vendors to demonstrate financial stability, technical competence, and the capability to fulfill the contract requirements within the specified 30-day delivery timeframe.
