eco fee for paint

The Illinois Department of Corrections awarded a Competitive Sealed Bidding contract to The Pittsburgh Paints Company (V00001631) for the provision of environmental compliance fees associated with paint products. The contract was executed by Sheridan Correctional Center on July 17, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027, and a contract value of two dollars. The line item specifies PaintCare fees (also referred to as ecological fees) that are added to paint product invoices in accordance with environmental stewardship requirements, with fees of $0.95 per 1-gallon container and $1.95 per 5-gallon container.

This ancillary contract ties to a previously placed order (P-38710:227) and reflects the mandatory environmental compliance fees required under PaintCare regulations for paint container disposal and recycling programs. The award encompasses three units at $0.95 each, representing the eco-fee component of paint products supplied to the Sheridan Correctional Center facility. The contract period extends twelve months from award through June 30, 2027, and performance will occur at the Sheridan Correctional Center location in Illinois.
