1.1010.05 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Issue Date: 5/8/14 Updated: 1/6/16 CBA
A “request for information” is a nonbinding process where the District requests information relating to a procurement item. The purpose of a request for information is to obtain information, comments, or suggestions from potential bidders or offerors before issuing an invitation for bids or request for proposals, to determine whether to invite bids or request proposals; and to generate interest in a possible invitation for bids or a request for proposals. The District may use a request for information to prepare invite bids or request proposals for an unfamiliar or complex procurement, to determine the availability of a procurement item, or to determine best practices, industry standards, performance standards, product specifications, and innovations relating to a procurement item. Utah Code § 63G-6a-103(71) (2018) Utah Code § 63G-6a-409 (2016) A request for information may seek a wide range of information, including for example information on availability of a procurement item, delivery schedules, industry standards and practices, product specifications, training, new technologies, capabilities of potential providers of a procurement item, and alternate solutions. Utah Code § 63G-6a-409(5) (2016) A request for information is not a procurement process and may not be used to make a purchase or enter into a contract. Similarly, a response to a request for information is not an offer and may not be accepted to form a binding contract. Information submitted to the District by others or by the District to others in connection with a request for information is considered “protected” information under the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act. However, to establish such protection for trade secrets, commercial information, or non-individual financial information the submitting entity must provide with the information a written claim of business confidentiality and a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim.
