Provo City School District - Virtual Anatomy Convertible Table

Provo City School District's Department of Purchasing has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the procurement of three virtual anatomy convertible table systems for secondary anatomy and Career and Technical Education (CTE) health science instruction. The systems must be equivalent in functionality and performance to medical-grade convertible virtual dissection tables manufactured by Anatomage and must include comprehensive technical specifications such as 4K ultra-high-definition displays with minimum 10-point multi-touch capability, electric or assisted tilt mechanisms, and operation on standard 120V power. The seven line items in this solicitation encompass the convertible virtual anatomy table system itself, protective display hard covers, shipping crates and freight, initial training, premium software access during warranty, Year 1 warranty and support, and an optional four-year extended warranty package. The digital anatomy datasets must include multiple full-body real human cadaver-based models (both male and female), layer-by-layer dissection capability, histology and pathology libraries, and integration of clinical imaging including CT and MRI datasets with DICOM file viewing capability. Vendors proposing equivalent products must provide manufacturer specifications, compliance matrices, equivalency documentation, and educational references for District approval. The contract award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, and the District reserves the right to award based on lowest combined cost or lowest cost per line item. Bids must be submitted by March 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST through the Utah Public Procurement Place portal or directly to Woody Turnbeaugh at woodyt@provo.edu, with the anticipated contract resulting in a single award for an initial term of one year with options to renew for up to four additional years.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting eligible respondents to particular types of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises noted in the solicitation documents. All vendors must comply with Utah Code requirements regarding economic boycotts, boycotts of Israel, forced labor products, and restricted foreign entities, and must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. The solicitation identifies Anatomage as the benchmark manufacturer for equivalency purposes, indicating that the District is currently utilizing or familiar with Anatomage's virtual dissection table technology as the baseline for comparison. Vendors must guarantee pricing for the initial one-year contract period, with any price adjustments requiring a minimum of thirty days' notice prior to the effective date and supporting documentation. The Standard Terms and Conditions are non-negotiable, and any bid containing exceptions or additions will be rejected as non-responsive. While specific budget ranges or award values are not explicitly stated in the available documents, the procurement encompasses equipment, software, training, warranty, and support services across three units over an initial one-year term with potential four-year renewal options.
