The Utah Procurement Code provides that a procurement may be made without competition when the University determines that there is only one source that can reasonably meet the University’s need for the required supply or service, as described in Utah Code Ann. § 63G-6a-802.
The Purchasing Department has received the following request for sole source procurement
Current date: 20250421
Product and/or Service to be purchased: Tableau Period Coverage 2025-2030
Sole Source Supplier: SalesForce
Earliest Proposed Purchase Date: April 22, 2025
Buyer Name: Jon Pezely
Sole Source Justification:
SalesForce is the only vendor who handles Tableau software. This is a site license renewal. It will be put on the OSL website for Faculty/Staff/Student Purchase. Tableau software is proprietary. This means that its source code is not publicly available, and it is owned and controlled by Salesforce.
This is specific software that can’t be modified. No market research has been done due to the proprietary nature of this purchase.
