Amendment 2 Question and Answer Document

22-416CMS-BOPM4-B-23604

JPMC Mats Towels Uniforms 07/14/2021

Question1:
As we continue to seek a certified vendor to subcontract services with to meet the 10% BEP Utilization goal in this contract, we are attempting to broaden our search for a fit. We have been unable to contract with any of the vendors on the list of 5 certified vendors listed on this Bid Solicitation. We have worked with VENDOR A in the past, are they a certified vendor that we could work with to meet this goal? I see them in the Directory as certification type “SWS”.
Answer 1:
Any Vendor that is actively registered in the Illinois Diversity Compliance Directory for the NIGP code(s) associated with the solicitation at time of bid submission can be used to fulfill the BEP goal. The NIGP codes associated with this solicitation are 95404, 95410, 95470. Further information can be found on the Diversity Compliance Website at https://cms.diversitycompliance.com/
