USD - Uintah High School Wrestling Mats

The Uintah School District is pursuing a sole source procurement for two-sided wrestling mats for Uintah High School under the Utah Procurement Code, without engaging in a standard competitive procurement process. The procurement is being executed by the Uintah School District's Purchasing Department in Utah County. The goods being procured consist of two-sided design wrestling mats manufactured from exclusive material that provides superior durability, shock absorption, and the highest standards of impact protection and performance, compliant with ASTM standards. The district has determined that RESILITE - The Mat Company is the only vendor capable of providing mats meeting these specifications and requirements. The key objective is to acquire mats that meet specialized performance and safety standards that cannot be adequately matched by competing vendors. The notice was posted on April 2, 2026, with a challenge deadline of 2:00 p.m. MST on Friday, April 10, 2026, for any party wishing to challenge the proposed sole source procurement. The earliest date the purchase will occur is July 1, 2026.

The Uintah School District's justification for sole source procurement is based on extensive research determining that RESILITE is the only vendor offering two-sided design mats with the required exclusive material composition and performance characteristics, making a standard competitive procurement process impractical and not in the best interest of the procurement unit. No set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are indicated in the available documentation. RESILITE - The Mat Company has been identified as the proposed sole source supplier. The anticipated expenditure for this procurement is $60,119.29. All inquiries or challenges regarding this sole source procurement should be directed to Kelli Wilson, Purchasing Agent, at kelli.wilson@uintah.net prior to the April 10, 2026 deadline.
