Official Public Notice for Acceptance of Applications Type 2 and 3 Package Agencies
The DABC and state of Utah is offering a three year Package Agency contract effective July 1,
2022, and will run through June 30, 2025. The contract opportunity is open to the general
public for qualified applicants that meet the statutory requirements and pass the selection
process. The decision to open the recruitment process is driven by the DABCs ongoing efforts to
adhere to our statutory charge to use sound management and business practices. The recruitment
and vetting process for the Type 2and 3 contracts will be an open, transparent, and competitive
process that is fair to both current package agents and members of the public who may wish to
apply to operate a package agency.
Those interested in applying for Type 2and 3 Package Agency contracts must complete an application
found on the DABC website here: abc.utah.gov
The following items are required to be submitted with the application:
- Detailed business plan
- Copy of lease or letter affirming ownership of the package agency location (for the purpose of
the application process a letter of intent to lease the designated property can be provided by a
potential landlord will suffice. An actual signed lease will be required to finalize contract
acceptance. Failure to provide a properly executed lease after acceptance for the contract will
result in forfeiture of the application)
- TC-721
- Local consent from the city or county in which the package agency will be located
- Business license from the city or county in which the package agency will be located (required

- Organizational charts defining ownership percentages

Commission Meeting. The Commission meetings are open to the public.
