The State of Utah Division of State Parks issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation #KL22-44 for sand sleds, boards, and associated equipment to be used at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Kane County. The procurement specifically sought 15 sand sleds (minimum dimensions 15x42 inches with handles), 15 adult sand boards (120-127 cm, twin-tipped), and 15 youth sand boards (105-110 cm). The bid was publicly opened on 10/20/2021 at 1:00 PM MDT and closed on 11/2/2021 at 2:00 PM MDT, with Slip Face Sandboards LLC ultimately awarded as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. All purchased equipment will be delivered directly to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park located at 12500 Sand Dunes Rd. in Kanab, Utah. Bidders were required to meet specific prerequisites, including certifications about not being on OFAC sanctions lists, not being currently debarred, and not engaging in boycotts. The procurement was classified under commodity code 49240 for recreation and playground equipment, with all shipping costs included in the bid pricing.

The contract will span five years, with the state anticipating an initial larger purchase followed by ongoing replacements. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is funded through the State of Utah and will result in one contract award based on the lowest total overall cost. The bid includes provisions for potential technological upgrades and allows for additional legislative funding if appropriated. While a specific award value was not explicitly stated, the procurement involves purchasing multiple sand recreation equipment items for a state park. The contract appears to be open to standard commercial vendors who can meet the specified technical requirements and certification standards. Delivery will be made directly to the state park, suggesting a straightforward procurement process focused on acquiring specialized recreational equipment for public use.
