This Request for Proposals ("RFP”) is issued in accordance with the Utah Procurement Code and applicable administrative rules of the Utah Administrative Code. If any provision of this RFP conflicts with the Utah Procurement Code or Utah Administrative Code, then the Utah Procurement Code or Utah Administrative Code will take precedence. It is not intended to limit a proposal's content or exclude any relevant or essential data. Offerors are at liberty and are encouraged to expand upon the specifications to evidence service capability. Purpose of this Solicitation The purpose of this RFP is to enter into a contract to provide: Commerical Kitchen Parts for the Utah Department of Corrections. Please also review Attachment C - Scope of Work. It is anticipated that this RFP will result in a single contract award to the responsive and responsible offeror with the highest score justified by the procurement code. Closing date and time The closing date and time for this sourcing event is as provided in this posting. If your time is different from that shown, your profile may be set to a different time zone. Please see the attachment titled "Changing Your Time Zone" in the Buyer Attachments section for directions on how to update your profile.

Background It is the goal of the Utah Department of Corrections (UDC) to provide nutritious, quality meals that meet the recommended daily dietary requirements and comply with all state and local health, safety, and sanitation codes while maintaining a high standard of quality to contribute to offender morale. In addition to providing these quality meals, it is imperative to ensure the safety and security of offenders and staff while maintaining order and a standardized operational process within the food service areas.

UDC intends to establish a contract with a qualified commercial parts distributor to provide parts, equipment, and supplies, on an as-needed basis, to help achieve this goal. Issuing Procurement Unit, Conducting Procurement Unit, and Solicitation Number The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is the issuing procurement unit and UDC is the conducting procurement unit for this RFP (referred to as “the State”). The reference number for this RFP is Solicitation #RR24-58. This solicitation number must be referred to on all proposals, correspondence, and documentation submitted to the State relating to this RFP. Any solutions that include cloud services, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, MaaS, CaaS & XaaS, etc. must be implemented using the existing State of Utah DTS accounts for those hosted services, where possible. DTS has accounts with most major cloud producers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.). It is expected that State of Utah data reside on the DTS managed accounts for these and all providers. If applicable, please ensure that the solicitation response incorporates the use of these DTS accounts and that the pricing quoted does not include vendor hosting costs as costs would be paid directly to the hosting providers through DTS's existing accounts. If it is not possible to utilize the DTS cloud services accounts, please provide the reasoning why to the solicitation’s Q&A board so as to allow the State to amend this solicitation requirement if appropriate. Description If the State of Utah Division of Technology Services is conducting this solicitation then the Division of Technology Services has the authority to allow any and all State of Utah Executive Branch Agencies to participate in any contract resulting from this solicitation in the event a procurement need arises.

All technology contract amendments will be issued in accordance with State of Utah Technology Governance Act § 63F-1-205, Utah Procurement Code, and Utah Administrative Rule R33-12-502. Additionally, IT procurements may be subject to third party review and additional reference checks as a matter of course. Additional Information Offerors are prohibited from communications regarding this RFP with the conducting procurement unit staff, evaluation committee members, or other associated individuals EXCEPT the State of Utah Division of Purchasing procurement officer overseeing this RFP. Wherever in this RFP an item is defined by using a trade name, brand name, or a manufacturer and/or model number, it is intended that the words, “or equivalent” apply; and invites the submission of equivalent products by the Offerors. Offerors may be required to submit product samples to assist the chief procurement officer or head of a procurement unit with independent procurement authority in evaluating whether a procurement item meets the specifications and other requirements set forth in the request for proposals. Product samples must be furnished free of charge unless otherwise stated in the invitation for proposals, and if not destroyed by testing, will upon written request within any deadline stated in the invitation for proposals, be returned at the Offeror's expense. Samples must be labeled or otherwise identified as specified in the invitation for proposals by the procurement unit.

Evaluation of Proposals Offerors that achieve a minimum score threshold of 675 will proceed to the Final Stage: Cost Proposal Evaluation. Offerors with a score of less than the minimum required technical points will be deemed non-responsive and ineligible for further consideration. The evaluation score sheet has been attached to this RFP. The attached evaluation score sheet states the relative weight that will be given to each evaluation criteria.

Final Stage: Cost Proposal Evaluation Offerors successful in the technical evaluation will advance to the Final State: Cost Proposal Evaluation. The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive the maximum points of 100. Points assigned to each Offeror’s cost proposal will be based on the lowest proposal price. The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive 100, or 100% of the total cost points.
