SLCo PAR123259 Bandit Chipper- Sole Source

Salt Lake County is pursuing a sole source procurement for a Bandit Chipper through the Division of Contracts and Procurement, specifically requesting to purchase equipment from Global Machinery. The procurement is categorized as a sole source/standardization acquisition, indicating a unique vendor selection process. The contract opportunity was posted on July 26, 2025, with a response deadline of August 2, 2025. Potential vendors or interested parties who disagree with the sole source designation are required to email the county's Contracts and Procurement Division contact prior to August 1, 2025. The procurement appears focused on acquiring a specific type of chipper equipment, likely for municipal or county operational purposes such as landscape maintenance, forestry management, or waste reduction.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the sole source nature of the procurement suggests limited competitive bidding opportunities. The procurement is specifically for Salt Lake County in the state of Utah, with a FIPS Code of 49035. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the current documentation. The sole source approach implies that Global Machinery is the preferred or only qualified vendor for this specific Bandit Chipper, potentially due to unique technical specifications, compatibility with existing equipment, or specialized performance characteristics. Interested vendors should carefully review the attached Request for Information (RFI) document, which is a 156KB PDF file posted on the same date as the contract opportunity announcement.
