Troop 3 - Paper Order DP - KP

Illinois has awarded a Release Competitive Sealed Bidding contract (25-416CMS-BOSS4-P-76708) to Midland Paper (Vendor ID V00002071) for the supply of virgin bond paper. The contract was awarded on August 28, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027, and carries a contract value of $1,863.60. The contracting organization is Operations (OPERATIONS493). The awarded line item specifies the delivery of one pallet (skid) of Type #2 Bond or better virgin paper in 8.5" X 11" format, 20 pound weight, white color, with specified technical parameters including 92 brightness, 150-160 smoothness rating, 3.4-4.0 caliper, and 88-90 opacity. The minimum order quantity is one full skid containing 200,000 sheets packaged in 40 cartons per skid with 5,000 sheets per carton.

This procurement was conducted through competitive sealed bidding procedures and represents a one-time or initial release order under what may be an established supply agreement. No specific county or place of performance is identified in the available contract documentation. The relatively modest contract value and single-unit pallet quantity suggest this may be an initial or test order, with potential for additional releases under the same contract mechanism.
