Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source to Intercambio Uniting Communities

The Canyons School District (Utah) is issuing a sole‑source procurement notice to award a five‑year contract for “Confidence and Connections” adult ESL student books and associated curriculum support to Intercambio Uniting Communities. The district has used this curriculum for a year and cites continuity, low cost ($13 per book plus a $150‑$250 network membership), and the inability of commercial alternatives to meet the volunteer‑driven, low‑literacy adult‑education model. The contract value is estimated at $20,000 per year, totaling $100,000 over the contract period (09/02/2026 – 09/01/2031). Interested vendors may submit challenges by 9/1/2026; otherwise the district will proceed without competition. • Sole‑source justification: unique curriculum, low cost, continuity for existing learners. • Estimated annual spend: $20,000; total five‑year spend $100,000. • No pre‑bid meeting or site visit required. • Submission deadline: 9 Oct 2026 12:00 PM MT (closing date). • Contact for questions: Rachel Blackburn, Admin Asst/Buyer (email provided). • If a valid challenge is received, the award may be withdrawn.
