SLCo HEA031126 Quarantine and Isolation Services - RFI

Salt Lake County's Division of Contracts and Procurement has issued a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Procurement Request for Information (RFI) for quarantine and isolation services to prevent and minimize the spread of communicable diseases within the county. The procurement seeks to continue a partnership with Fourth Street Clinic to provide temporary alternative accommodations and supportive services for individuals exposed to or diagnosed with communicable diseases who require quarantine or isolation measures. Key deliverables include both clinical and non-clinical support services, with particular emphasis on serving priority populations such as individuals experiencing homelessness. The sole source justification is based on Fourth Street Clinic's established infrastructure, demonstrated experience providing quarantine and isolation support within Salt Lake County, ability to coordinate comprehensive services, and existing strong working relationship with the Salt Lake County Health Department. The county determined that replicating this partnership would require significant time and resources, making Fourth Street Clinic the most effective community partner to meet these needs. The notice period commenced on March 12, 2026, with objections to the sole source designation and comments due by March 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time. Interested parties who disagree with the sole source procurement must submit objections directly to Bibi Whitehead at bwhitehead@saltlakecounty.gov.

This procurement is designated as a sole source purchase, which restricts the opportunity to Fourth Street Clinic unless other parties successfully challenge the sole source justification prior to the March 19, 2026 deadline. No formal bidder meetings or site visits are referenced in this RFI. The estimated contract value for this procurement is $100,000. All submitted documents will be treated as protected records under the Utah Governmental Records and Access Management Act until contract execution or two years from the RFI issuance date, after which they become public records unless classified as trade secrets or commercial information under applicable state law.
