Proposers must submit equipment that is new, current model, and delivered in operational condition with industry-standard warranties. The evaluation process will score proposals on a 1,000-point scale, with points allocated across financial viability (50 points), sales and delivery capabilities (150 points), marketing plan (100 points), value-added attributes (100 points), solution depth and breadth (200 points), and pricing (400 points).

The solicitation is open to vendors intending to provide goods and services, with a particular focus on Utah-based vendors.

Sourcewell anticipates an estimated annual transaction value of approximately $150 million, with awarded vendors required to pay an administrative fee of one to two percent of quarterly sales.
