Wherever in this RFP an item is defined by using a trade name, brand name, or a manufacturer and/or model number, it is intended that

the words, “or equivalent” apply; and invites the submission of equivalent products by the Offerors.

Offerors may be required to submit product samples to assist the chief procurement officer or head of a procurement unit with

independent procurement authority in evaluating whether a procurement item meets the specifications and other requirements set forth

in the request for proposals. Product samples must be furnished free of charge unless otherwise stated in the request for proposals,

New Technology

Pursuant to Utah Administrative Rule R33-12-502 the awarded contract(s) may be modified to incorporate new technology or

technological upgrades associated with the procurement item being solicited, including new or upgraded: (i) systems; (ii) apparatuses;

(iii) modules; (iv) components; and (v) other supplementary items. Further, a maintenance or service agreement associated with the
