Track Veterinarian

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, through the Department of Agriculture and Food, is seeking statements of qualifications from professional service providers to fill a Track Veterinarian position under Utah Administrative Rule R33-105 for small purchases of professional service providers and consultants. This is a qualifications-based procurement in which respondents must demonstrate relevant expertise, experience, and capability to perform specialized veterinary services in support of the state's agricultural operations and programs. Vendors are explicitly instructed not to include pricing information in their submissions, as the evaluation will focus exclusively on qualifications and capability. The contract will be awarded to a qualified veterinarian based on the strength of their statement of qualifications. Key requirements for successful respondents include compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, maintenance of workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, and registration with the E-Verify employment verification system. The deadline for submission of statements of qualifications is March 24, 2026, with the opportunity posted on March 17, 2026. All work product and intellectual property created under the contract will become the property of the State of Utah.

The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. Contractors must comply with Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309 regarding business confidentiality claims, with respondents permitted to submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals if they wish to claim confidentiality protection for trade secrets and commercial financial information. The contract's authorized funding will not exceed the limits specified in Utah Administrative Rule R33-105-104 at any point during the contract term; however, the specific dollar amount is not disclosed in the procurement materials. Contractors selected for award will be required to submit invoices within thirty days of service delivery, with payment expected within thirty days of correct invoice receipt. No specific contract term length, renewal options, site visit requirements, or bidders' conference are detailed in the available documents.
