Salt Lake City Public Notice of Intent to Waive a Procurement Process/Utilize Cooperative Contract - Sole Source and Existing Compatibility.

Salt Lake City Division of Purchasing and Contract Management is publishing a Notice of Intent to Award a Contract Without Competition for Dormakaba Exit Lane Door services under Solicitation Number SLCI27040, with a public comment period ending October 20, 2026. The City is proceeding under sole-source justification and existing compatibility, invoking Salt Lake City Procurement Code Chapter 3.24.

The scope is a five-year service agreement for Dormakaba Exit Lane Door services. The total contract value is $210,000 over the term. The City may award without competition if supplies or services are available from a sole source, if competition would be unlikely to result, if the procurement matches existing equipment or facilities, if services are of a specialized nature, or if a waiver would serve the City's best interest or public convenience.

During the public comment period, interested and qualified vendors may challenge the procurement decision by submitting detailed documentation demonstrating that competing sources exist and that their firms can provide comparable, equivalent, or superior products meeting the specifications, or can supply the same proprietary item. Vendors may also submit cost comparisons if transitional costs are the stated justification. The Division will review all valid challenges received during the publication period. If no valid challenges are submitted, the Division may proceed with awarding the contract to the identified vendor without further competition. The Division reserves the right to reconsider and potentially pursue competitive procurement if other qualified vendors meeting specifications are identified through challenge submissions.

The procurement official is Aaron Francom, reachable at Aaron.francom@slc.gov.
