Wasatch Peak Academy- IT Services

Wasatch Peak Academy, a nonprofit public charter school in North Salt Lake, Utah, is seeking an IT Services Provider through a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support its comprehensive technology infrastructure and operations. The procurement is specifically targeting a service provider capable of managing the school's core network, with responsibilities including long-term technology planning, network architecture maintenance, equipment procurement, and comprehensive IT support for its K-6 educational environment serving over 500 students. The RFP requires detailed proposals demonstrating expertise in network management, email systems, internet filtering, phone services, security systems, user equipment services, classroom technology, standardized testing support, staff training, and strategic consulting. Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point criteria: experience (20 points), personnel qualifications (10 points), reference quality (10 points), scope of services (25 points), responsiveness (5 points), and cost (30 points). Key deadlines include: questions submitted via email to Gabe Clark by 3:00 p.m. on November 6, 2025, and proposal submissions due by 3:00 p.m. on November 11, 2025, with an anticipated contract award in November 2025 and service implementation by December 1, 2025.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, suggesting the procurement is open to a wide range of qualified IT service providers. The school expects the selected vendor to provide 24x7x365 system monitoring, help desk support, cyber security framework implementation, and comprehensive data protection. Cost proposals will be evaluated using a formula that awards the most points to the lowest price, with an expectation that pricing will remain stable for at least 18 months following contract award. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of services required suggests a substantial technology services contract. The procurement is specific to Utah County and will be managed directly by Wasatch Peak Academy, with proposals to be submitted electronically to Gabe Clark, noting a 1GB file upload limit. Interested vendors must carefully review the entire solicitation to ensure compliance with all requirements, understanding that the Division of Purchasing is not conducting this specific procurement.
