IDOC Tay Snow Plow Shoe

BMT Orbit Inc was awarded a small purchase contract (26-426DOC-TAYLO-P-87484) by the Taylorville Correctional Center in Illinois on October 6, 2025, with a contract completion date of June 30, 2026. The contract, valued at fifty-eight dollars, appears to involve the procurement of a specific mechanical component: a Western HD disc shoe part (Part Number 49071), characterized by a 1-inch shaft diameter, 8.5-inch shaft length, 6-inch disc diameter, and 1.25-inch disc thickness.

The contract includes supplementary documentation requirements, such as providing specification sheets for quoted items and completing specific pages of a Basic Ordering Agreement. The line items suggest a detailed procurement process with provisions for "or equal" product submissions, allowing for minor variations in design or construction that do not compromise the item's intended functionality. The contract was issued through an Open Market Small Purchase mechanism, indicating a streamlined acquisition process for a relatively low-value procurement by the Illinois state correctional system.
