About this file

This is an Emergency Purchase Statement filed by the State of Illinois Central Management Services (CMS) in conjunction with the Chief Procurement Office for General Services to procure bulk rock salt from Compass Minerals America, Inc. The emergency purchase was necessitated by limited rock salt supply resulting from severe winter weather in the Midwest and East Coast region, combined with the inability of the original bid (B-52513) to secure quotes for 260 of 905 locations due to a major supplier's decision not to submit a proposal. The emergency purchase statement, authorized on August 24, 2026, establishes a joint master contract enabling governmental units that did not receive quotes under the original bid to purchase bulk rock salt for calendar year 2026-2027. The vendor will provide and deliver bulk rock salt directly to specified governmental unit locations, with invoicing conducted separately for each location based on actual quantities received and corresponding cost shares.

The total estimated expenditure for this emergency purchase is $6,860,013.07, with funding sourced from federal funds, state appropriation funds, state grant funds, and other sources. The vendor selection was justified based on Compass Minerals America, Inc.'s status as an existing, registered, and certified Illinois vendor capable of meeting immediate supply needs at competitive pricing under constrained market conditions. CMS determined that an emergency purchase represented the most practical level of competition achievable given the time-sensitive nature of rock salt availability and the risk of further supply constraints or price increases from delayed procurement. The selected vendor committed to utilizing the same subcontractors as the original bid B-52513, including Business Enterprise Program (BEP) certified subcontractors with a combined BEP participation goal of 3%, comprised of CLK Systems, Inc. (1%), Five Star Hauling, Inc. (1%), and Truck King Hauling Contractors, Inc. (1%).

TextField2: The purpose of this emergency is to establish a joint master master contract to enable governmental units that did not receive a quote under the original bid to purchase bulk rock salt for CY26-27.
TextField4: This procurement was previously bid under B-52513 for 905 locations. CMS did not receive a bid for 260 of the 905 locations. We usually have 3 major rock salt suppliers that submit quotes, but this year 1 of those suppliers chose not to submit a quote. This major supplier choosing to not submit a quote left a void in our bid, that the other two major suppliers could not fill. The other circumstance that is becoming apparent is that the supply of rock salt is and will be limited this year due to the harsh winter last season that spread from the Midwest all the way to the east coast.
ExplanationForSelectingVendor: This vendor was selected because it is an existing, registered, and certified State of Illinois vendor that is qualified to provide the required rock salt. This vendor was able to meet the agency's immediate need for the required quantity within the necessary time-frame while offering pricing that was considered affordable under the current market conditions. Selecting an established State of Illinois vendor allowed CMS to secure the available supply promptly and avoid the risk of further supply constraints or increased pricing associated with delaying the purchase.
ExplanationSuppliesServices: The vendor shall provide and deliver bulk rock salt directly to each governmental unit location specified by CMS. Deliveries shall be made in accordance with the quantities and delivery requirements established for each location. The vendor shall invoice each governmental unit location separately for its actual quantity received and corresponding share of the total cost of the rock salt supplied.
TextField3: CMS evaluated the availability of rock salt and determined that an immediate purchase was necessary to secure available supply while favorable pricing remained available. Given the limited availability of rock salt and the need to act quickly to maintain an adequate supply, CMS sought to obtain the material from an existing State of Illinois registered and certified vendor capable of meeting the agency's immediate needs. The agency considered the availability, price, and ability to provide the required quantity within the necessary time-frame in determining the source of the purchase. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the market and the risk that the available supply and pricing could be lost if the agency delayed procurement for a traditional competitive solicitation, CMS determined that the emergency purchase represented as much competition as was practicable under the circumstances.
TextField1: The vendor stated that they will be utilizing the same subcontractors as those listed under the original rock salt bid # B-52513. This would include the BEP subcontractors as well with a total BEP goal of 3%. They are as follows:

CLK Systems, Inc. --- 1%.

Five Star Hauling, Inc. --- 1%.

Truck King Hauling Contractors, Inc. --- 1%.
