Description

The Salt Lake City School District intends to award a contract for nursing services without engaging in a standard procurement process due to the unique nature of the service and urgent Medicaid reimbursement deadlines. The procurement is a sole source contract with Heart to Hand, the current provider of nurses for Medicaid services in the district. The district canceled a previous RFP due to inadequate specifications and requires continuity of critical nursing services while a revised solicitation is developed. Interested vendors are invited to submit challenges with documentation if they believe they can provide comparable or better services.
