The Division of Facilities Construction and Management is excited to announce that on February 1, 2025, we will be utilizing a NEW Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) platform called Bonfire.
Critical Information for All Contractors
- This change requires all Contractors to register a new account in the new U3P Bonfire platform. Vendors who are not registered prior to February 1, 2025, will no longer receive solicitation notifications for DFCM solicitations.
- All DFCM solicitations posted through January 31, 2025, will be posted in the current U3P platform and all solicitation schedule events referenced to U3P will take place in the current U3P platform regardless of the solicitation closing date. DFCM will not initiate any solicitation in the current platform and close it in the new platform. Each solicitation will close in the platform it was posted.
