The Utah Procurement Code provides that a procurement may be made without competition when the University determines that there is only one source that can reasonably meet the University’s need for the required supply or service, as described in Utah Code Ann. § 63G-6a-802.
The Purchasing Department has received the following request for sole source procurement
Current date: 20241222
Product and/or Service to be purchased: CollegeVine Platform Subscription for Student Recruiting Connections
Sole Source Supplier: Canopy Education Inc.
Earliest Proposed Purchase Date: December 27, 2024
Buyer Name: Matt Cooney
Sole Source Justification:
The CollegeVine solution database has a unique set of potential student recruiting leads that are only available through this vendor. This is one of several lead providers used by the University to identify prospective students. The University works with several vendors where we can reach out to prospective students and each one has their own proprietary website or database where select students can be reached. While there is potential for some overlap, there are still unique students found only in the CollegeVine platform. No other organizations have access to the students on the CollegeVine platform.
This sole source will be valid for one year.
