Solicitation Notifications

Please register as a supplier through the Utah Public Procurement Place website to receive future notifications about solicitations. All questions or assistance with the registration process must be fielded through the U3P admin team and can be reached by emailing them at U3Padmin@utah.gov or here.

Registration as a supplier on U3P does not pre-qualify the supplier or guarantee notification or receipt of a solicitation. It is the responsibility of the supplier to check the notice posted on U3P.

Salt lake City Corporation has migrated to the new Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) platform. In order to respond to solicitations you will need to register at the new U3P website by clicking here. First time users will need to click the link on the top right-hand side of the screen where you will see a “Register” button, which will take you through the registration process.

It is recommended that you watch this quick 5-minute video on how to register with Bonfire to aid in your registration process. You may pause the video as you move through each step. Please consult the online knowledge base for any questions, and explore the FAQs, or reach out to the Bonfire support team at support@gobonfire.com .
