SHE124684 Full Body Narcotics Detection and Security

Salt Lake County Contracts and Procurement, on behalf of the Sheriff's Office, is seeking to procure three Clearpass Digital Full Body Security Screening Systems for the Oxbow Jail through solicitation SHE124684. The procurement includes the delivery, installation, and full replacement of existing securepass scanners, with comprehensive requirements for AI-driven threat detection software and DruGaurd3 automatic narcotics detection capabilities. Each system must perform full-body scans with image processing within 3 seconds and include extensive training components such as on-site and web-based operator training, radiation protection program implementation, and Radiation Safety Officer certification for up to ten personnel. The evaluation will be based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with potential additional points awarded through a preference system considering employee healthcare and veterans hiring practices. Key deadlines include a bid submission due date of September 30, 2025, with all communications required to be submitted through the Bonfire - Utah Public Procurement Portal, and strict prohibitions on direct contact with county officers or employees.

The solicitation includes specific compliance requirements that may restrict bidder eligibility, including mandatory environmental compliance certifications and non-debarment documentation. Vendors must demonstrate adherence to federal, state, and local environmental regulations and disclose any past environmental law violations. The procurement allows for "Brand Name or Equal" submissions, providing flexibility in equipment sourcing while maintaining specified performance standards. Warranty requirements are robust, mandating a minimum 1-year manufacturer warranty for parts and labor, along with a 3-year service warranty, and requiring a service facility within 60 miles of Salt Lake County. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement—including hardware, software, installation, training, and extended warranties—suggests a significant investment. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and maintains a preference system that can provide additional scoring points for vendors meeting specific workforce and benefits criteria.
