The purpose of the RFP is to solicit competitive proposals from organizations to conduct targeted strategic sourcing on the identified commodity classifications, categories, and services. The State is looking for new innovative methodologies to acquire savings in categories that have not been previously examined. Additionally, the RFP is being issued under the authority granted through Utah Code Annotated §63G-6-207 to conduct procurement activities related to those classifications.
