    The Courtesy Posting Services offered by the State of Utah will be performed free of charge as part of the Division of Purchasing’s mission to help public entities with their procurements and to grow the Utah Cooperative. As such, if the procurement item requested is currently on a State Cooperative “Best Value” Contract, the Division of Purchasing will not assist with the procurement if the public entity does not want to purchase from the State Cooperative “Best Value” Contract.

    If a public entity would like the Division of Purchasing to provide it with any Courtesy Posting Services, please email your request to purchasingsolicitations@utah.gov
