SLCo SHE012826 Evac North America - RFI

Salt Lake County's Division of Contracts and Procurement has issued a Sole Source Notification Request for Information (RFI) for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts required to maintain the county jail's sewer system infrastructure. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source purchase from EVAC North America, the identified exclusive provider of compatible parts for this critical infrastructure system. EVAC North America does not utilize distributors and sells directly to customers, making them the sole viable supplier for parts that meet the jail's standardization and compatibility requirements. The county has determined that alternative suppliers or replacement parts would undermine the functionality of the jail's sewer system, and transitional costs to alternative vendors would be unreasonable or cost prohibitive. The estimated total cost for this procurement is $300,000.00 or greater. Interested parties wishing to object to or comment on the sole source justification must submit their correspondence directly to Aaron Stone at astone@saltlakecounty.gov by February 5, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time. The RFI was posted on January 29, 2026, with the due date set for February 5, 2026.

This procurement contains no identified set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond, nor does the documentation indicate any disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. EVAC North America has been identified as the sole source vendor based on prior procurement process RFC SHE25955, during which the county established that this vendor is the exclusive provider of compatible OEM parts for the jail's existing sewer system infrastructure. Documents and submissions received in response to this RFI will be protected records under Utah's Governmental Records and Access Management Act (GRAMA) until either a contract is executed or two years elapse from the RFI issuance date, at which point they become public records unless designated as trade secrets or confidential commercial information under applicable Utah Code provisions. The procurement award value is anticipated to be $300,000.00 or greater, though the final contract amount will depend on the specific parts and services required to maintain the jail's sewer system functionality.
