RFSQ - Approved Vendor List for Fundraiser Vendors Pursuant to Utah Code 13-22

The Salt Lake District School District (SLCSD) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified vendors to provide food items or other products for fundraising activities at various schools within the district. The purpose of this process is to establish an approved vendor list for fundraising activities in accordance with Utah Code 13-22 (Chapter 22), the Charitable Solicitations Act.

This is an open-ended solicitation under Part 6G-6a-507 of the Utah Procurement Code. Selected vendors will be placed on an approved vendor list for 18 months. After this initial period, additional opportunities to apply will be available through the SLCSD website.

Vendors placed on the Open-ended Approved Vendors List for fundraisers must provide items to (SLCSD) for resale. The vendor shall specify either a percentage or a flat fee per item sold, with all proceeds going exclusively to SLCSD.

Vendors on the approved vendor list are expected to conduct business with SLCSD in a professional and timely manner, ensuring a positive working relationship with SLCSD employees, students, parents, and other stakeholders. SLCSD reserves the right to remove any vendor form the approved list at any time if they fail to meet these standards or for any other reason deemed appropriate by SLCSD.

Each vendor must provide the following information for review by the evaluation committee:

• Company Name
• Company Website
• Federal Tax ID Number
• Company Contact
• Contact Email
• Contact Phone
• Company Mailing Address
• A copy of your company W9 Form
• A State of Utah DOC Fundraiser Permit, commercial co-venturer letter or letter of exemption
• Valid Business License
• Vendors Documents/Proposed Contract

**Submission:** All SOQs must be submitted electronically through Bonfirehub.com. **SOQ Submission Deadline: 10:00 A.M. on November 18, 2026.** SOQs received after the deadline will be considered late and ineligible for review. Vendors should avoid waiting until the last minute, as the system will stop the submission process if a vendor is still uploading their SOQ when the deadline arrives.

Accepted File Formats: Excel, Word, PDF, and JPG. Do NOT submit: ZIP files, encrypted files, or MP3 files.

The statements in *Attachment C* require understanding and acceptance from each vendor. If any is left unchecked, the SOQ will be rejected as non-responsive.

Scoring

• Fundraiser Details – maximum of 40 points.
• Vendor's Qualifications and Experience – maximum of 30 points.
• References – maximum of 20 points.
• Complaint/Problem Resolution – maximum of 10 points.

Vendors who achieve a minimum total score of 70 points (out of 100) will be approved as a fundraising partner (Partner Organization) with SLCSD.

The term of any resulting contract with each school will not exceed one (1) year, with all contracts expiring on June 30th of the following year.
