DMH Small Purchase CMHC DISSOLVABLE SOAP PODS

The State of Illinois Department of Mental Health awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to Bob Barker on June 11, 2026, with a total contract value of $5,040.00 and a completion date of June 30, 2026. The contract is for the procurement of dissolvable soap and hygiene products specifically designed for institutional use. The line item consists of 42 cases of 3-in-1 dissolvable bath paks, with each case containing 500 individual paks at a unit price of $120.00 per case, inclusive of shipping and handling costs.

The specified product features a mild fresh scent formulation that is non-toxic, animal fat-free, and alcohol-free, designed to serve dual operational purposes within the mental health facility. The dissolvable pak configuration eliminates traditional soap packaging and containers, thereby reducing potential security concerns related to contraband and weapons while simultaneously decreasing facility management overhead associated with decanting products into individual service containers. The contract is governed by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services Standard Terms and Conditions, Version 23.2, which establishes insurance requirements, payment procedures consistent with the State Prompt Payment Act, and standard termination provisions applicable to Illinois state procurement activities.
