UDOT Notice of Sole Source AAHSTOWare Safety FY27

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract for AASHTOWare Safety Management Implementation and post-implementation support, with comments due by June 4, 2026. This is not a competitive solicitation; UDOT proposes to bypass standard procurement on the grounds that only one source supplies the required item, transitional costs represent a significant consideration, or standard procurement is impractical and not in UDOT's best interest.

The scope covers implementation and post-implementation support of AASHTOWare Safety Management software for UDOT's safety management operations. The detailed justification for sole-source status is contained in the attached justification documentation; the public notice serves to determine whether other qualified suppliers exist that meet the procurement requirements.

Parties who dispute the sole-source determination must submit their name and detailed documentation demonstrating that competing sources exist and that their firm can provide a comparable or equivalent product meeting or exceeding requirements. Responses and objections should be directed to jefferybarnes@utah.gov prior to the system closing date. If no valid challenges are received, UDOT may proceed with awarding the contract without competition. Parties who agree that this procurement represents a valid sole source are not required to take action. Questions regarding scope of work or specifications should be directed through the bidding system.
