Palisade State park Service agreement

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, in conjunction with the Department of Human Services, is pursuing a sole source procurement for a service agreement related to Palisade State Park. The contract opportunity, identified as CN18003, seeks to acquire hardware, software, support, and a Toro Control System for irrigation and equipment management. The solicitation was opened on July 6, 2017, at 3:00 PM MST and is scheduled to close on July 19, 2017, at 2:00 PM MST. The primary contact for this procurement is Cody Nelson from the Utah procurement team. The procurement process allows for potential vendors to challenge the sole source designation by submitting detailed documentation demonstrating alternative sources or comparable procurement items. If no valid challenges are received during the public notice period, the Division of Purchasing may award the contract to the identified vendor without competitive bidding.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of vendor set-asides or specific enterprise designations. The document does not explicitly outline specific budget ranges or award values for the contract. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that the selected vendor may have unique capabilities or be the primary provider of the specified control system and related technologies. The commodity codes associated with this procurement are focused on agricultural and greenhouse equipment, specifically targeting irrigation systems and control technologies. While the exact value of the contract is not disclosed, the sole source approach implies that the vendor likely has specialized expertise or proprietary technology that makes them the preferred or only viable option for the stated requirements. The procurement process provides a mechanism for other potential vendors to challenge the sole source designation, which serves as a form of market verification and ensures transparency in the procurement process.
