About this file

This document is the Vendor Instructions for Requests for Proposals (RFPs) related to the PO23-080 DCFS Promotional and Imprinted Items contract opportunity issued by the State of Illinois. The instructions provide details on how vendors should prepare and submit their proposals, including guidance on pricing, attachments, and formatting requirements. The contract opportunity seeks promotional and imprinted items for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Vendors are instructed to follow the pricing instructions in the solicitation document, whether entering unit costs in the Items Tab or submitting a separate Pricing Document. Vendors are prohibited from including any pricing, cost, or discount information in the Alternate Description field. The submission must include a Technical Proposal, Forms A/B, BEP Utilization Plan, and other required attachments. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all submissions must be made electronically, and paper submittals will not be accepted.

The document also includes a link to a tutorial video on the "Pricing Lockbox and Required Quote Attachments" process. While the instructions do not provide specific details on the contract term, quantities, or award dates, they emphasize the importance of submitting accessible and legible documents, as well as the potential for file size issues during the upload/download process.

Vendor Instruction - Request for Proposal (RFP)

Create quote:

General Tab Save and Continue Items Tab Follow instructions in the Pricing section of the solicitation document as to whether pricing will be entered in the Unit Cost of the Items Tab or submitted as a separate Pricing Document in the Attachments Tab.

Note: any pricing entered in the Unit Cost of the Items Tab will be locked until after Technical Evaluations take place. Do not enter cost, pricing, or any discount information in the Alternate Description field. Entering cost, pricing or discount information in the Alternate Description may result in disqualification.

Terms and Conditions Tab Select “Yes”, “No”, or “Yes with Exceptions” Note: If taking any exceptions, please list exceptions in the Technical Proposal.

Attachments Tab For each required quote attachment listed:

“Upload” (next to each required attachment) “Choose File” Note: If a pricing document is required, mark the box next to the question, “Does this Attachment contain any pricing, cost, or discount information?”

Failure to mark this box when attaching a pricing document may result in disqualification.

Check this box ONLY if a separate pricing document is required.

Do NOT check this box for any other required quote attachment such as the Technical Proposal, Forms A/Forms B, BEP Utilization Plan, or Offer.

Summary Tab “Submit Quote”

Documents shall be submitted in an electronic format that is accessible and readable using Microsoft Office suite software or Adobe Reader. Corrupted files shall not be considered. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to check that files are accessible and legible after uploading.

File size may impact the uploading and downloading speed and may lead to browser time-outs resulting in failed upload/download attempts. Please consider this dependency when attaching very large documents.

Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, closure of many State Buildings and escalated health concerns, paper submittals will not be accepted. For further information please see CPO Notice 2020.06 here: CPO Notice 2020.06 Procurement and Electronic Submission.pdf
