The Utah Department of Corrections is conducting a non-standard procurement (Sole Source, Number DS20-102) for ambulatory transportation services from the Utah State Prison in Draper, UT to the University of Utah medical center and other inter-facility medical transportation needs. The solicitation seeks EMT services with a specific focus on patient transport and medical diagnostics, covering multiple commodity codes related to emergency medical and healthcare facility services. The procurement is open from 4/2/2020 to 4/9/2020, with proposals due by 2:00 PM MDT on 4/9/2020. Vendors are required to submit detailed documentation demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent medical transportation services, including comprehensive cost comparisons and specific capability descriptions. The primary evaluation criteria appear to center on service equivalency, transportation logistics, medical service readiness, and cost-effectiveness. Interested vendors must contact Diane Schmidt at dschmidt@utah.gov to express interest or challenge the sole-source designation.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While the procurement is occurring in Salt Lake County, no specific local vendor preferences are outlined in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be open to qualified medical transportation providers who can demonstrate comparable service capabilities to the incumbent vendor. The document suggests this is potentially a transitional contract, indicating potential openness to alternative vendors who can meet the state's specific medical transportation requirements. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the provided documentation, though the solicitation implies a focus on cost-effectiveness and service quality. The procurement is being conducted through the Utah Division of Purchasing, with the primary objective of securing reliable inter-facility medical transportation services for the Utah Department of Corrections.
