Toyota Sienna Hybrid with Conversion Kit

The Utah Division of Purchasing is publishing a Notice of Intent to Award a Contract Without Engaging in a Standard Procurement Process for a single used 2024 Toyota Sienna Hybrid Platinum AWD with wheelchair accessibility modifications, with a public comment period deadline of July 29, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement; the Division claims only Compassion Mobility provides a pre-owned vehicle meeting the specified disability accommodation requirements.

The procurement is for one vehicle with existing modifications including a power ramp, power kneel, base lock, and wheelchair bracket, with current mileage of 1,663 miles. The conducting procurement unit justified sole-source award through market research contacting multiple vendors (Compassion Mobility, Mobility Solutions, MobilityWorks) and consulting the Utah Center for Assistive Technology, concluding that only the identified Compassion Mobility vehicle met the client's needs. The procurement unit also determined that previously modified vehicles for wheelchair accessibility are not available on existing state cooperative contracts and that availability through vendors changes daily.

The estimated contract value is $82,990, funded entirely by Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) funds. The total vehicle purchase price is $86,993.50, inclusive of adaptive equipment and modifications valued at $32,990, with the client responsible for $4,003.50 in taxes, fees, and registration; freight is F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid at zero cost.

The award is contingent on no valid challenges being received during the public comment period. Interested vendors may submit challenges demonstrating competing sources exist for comparable vehicles meeting or exceeding specified requirements, along with cost comparisons if transitional costs are identified. No contract term or renewal options are specified. All vendors must certify compliance with Utah Code 63G-27 et seq., including non-participation in economic boycotts and boycotts of the State of Israel. Standard contract terms require one-year warranties, workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, and general liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate.
