IDOC - BMR - First Defense 56843 and 43444

Illinois awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract valued at $1,012.80 to Noctowl Technology LLC (Vendor ID V00036219) on March 30, 2026, for delivery to the Big Muddy River Correctional Center. The contract performance period extends from the award date through June 30, 2026. The procurement encompasses two distinct oleoresin capsicum (OC) aerosol defensive spray products manufactured by First Defense, each available in different delivery mechanisms to support institutional security operations.

The contract specifies delivery of 20 units of First Defense 1.3% MK-4 Cone OC Aerosol (Model #43444) at a unit price of $17.40, and 40 units of First Defense 360 1.3% MK-4 Stream OC Aerosol (Model #56843) at a unit price of $16.62 per unit. Both product lines represent standard-issue chemical defense agents commonly utilized within correctional facility security protocols. The relatively short performance window and low aggregate contract value are consistent with the designated small purchase procurement vehicle and suggest fulfillment of immediate operational requirements at the correctional facility.
