SALT LAKE CITY â Tennessee lawmakers are asking questions about millions paid to a Utah company who received a no-bid contract to provide COVID-19 testing and personal protective equipment at the start of the pandemic.
The Volunteer State paid $5.9 million to Nomi Health, which is based in Orem, Utah. It was supposed to be $26.5 million, but Tennessee terminated the contract early over concerns of whether Nomi could deliver what it had promised, according to an investigation by FOX 13âs sister station, WTVF in Nashville.
