From the meeting
The publication describes sales tax exemptions for qualifying data centers, including machinery, equipment, and normal repair or replacement parts used in the operations of the data center or an occupant's operations. It is general guidance, but it points to continued infrastructure and hardware demand in Utah data center builds and expansions. Vendors should treat this as a signal that new facility and replacement purchases may qualify for exemption if the project meets the statute.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
