University of Utah Athletics Training Room Medical Supplies

The University of Utah Purchasing Department is seeking a Sport Medicine Supply vendor for the Athletics Department through an Invitation for Bids (Bid #UU200970320) issued on May 9, 2025. The procurement involves comprehensive medical supplies for the university's athletic training room, with a detailed cost sheet outlining items across multiple categories including bandages, braces, diagnostic equipment, electrotherapy devices, oral medications, rehabilitation equipment, tape, topicals, and training room supplies. Electronic bids are due by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, May 19, 2025, through BidNet Direct, with delivery of supplies required between July 1st and July 15th of the contract year. Vendors must provide items with expiration dates of July 2026 or later for the first year, with payment terms set at Net 30-days after receipt. The university will evaluate and award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor meeting minimum specifications, with potential for a 5-year agreement and pricing to remain firm for the first year, subject to potential adjustments in subsequent years with university approval.

The contract opportunity appears to have potential set-aside considerations, including preferences for small businesses and requirements for vendors to participate in a drug-, alcohol-, and tobacco-free campus environment. Vendors must complete federal exclusion checks and may need SAM.gov registration if federal funding is involved. The procurement includes compliance with Utah State Sales and Use Tax exemption requirements, and while a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the medical supply list suggests a significant annual procurement budget. Potential respondents must be prepared to provide a full-service medical supply solution, with the University reserving the right to purchase all or a limited number of the listed items and potentially add additional items if the cost is reasonable and approved. The procurement spans Salt Lake County and is specifically for the University of Utah Athletics Department, targeting a vendor capable of meeting extensive medical supply needs for athletic training operations.
