PaintCare Fee for P-38710:222

The Illinois Department of Corrections awarded a Competitive Sealed Bidding contract (22-416CMS-BOSS4-P-38710) to The Pittsburgh Paints Company (V00001631) on June 12, 2026. The contract, administered by Dixon Correctional Center, carries a contract value of $47.50 and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026. The period of performance spans approximately 18 days from the award date to the completion date.

The contract encompasses the procurement of paint-related products, specifically the administration of PaintCare fees—also known as Environmental Care Organization (ECO) fees—which are environmental stewardship charges applied to paint container purchases. The fee structure establishes $.95 per 1-gallon container and $1.95 per 5-gallon container. The contract quantity of one unit reflects the establishment or administration of this fee arrangement rather than a traditional product delivery, with performance taking place at Dixon Correctional Center in Dixon, Illinois. The minimal contract value suggests this award may represent an ancillary procurement component or a fee-based service arrangement associated with facility paint acquisition and environmental compliance requirements.
