About this file
This is a Question and Answer document for solicitation 25-SOS-PHYSE-B-46627 from the Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) regarding Milwaukee Tools for the Department of Physical Services. The document addresses concerns about purchase timelines, discontinued items, and delivery expectations. ILSOS indicates they will award as soon as specifications are verified, and the solicitation will be awarded by line item with low cost per line item being the determining factor. The delivery timeline requirement of March 30, 2025, is to be maintained as much as possible.
The document notes that current promotions offer free batteries with several cordless tools, which could reduce the overall purchase price. Some items in the original request are discontinued with no Milwaukee replacements, and ILSOS is working to update item numbers for these discontinued tools through a forthcoming bid amendment in BidBuy. Additionally, some items are on backorder at the factory with unknown lead times.

Question & Answer Set 1
25-SOS-PHYSE-B-46627
Milwaukee Tools
1. What is the purchase timeline for these items? The current promotions will only be available for a couple of months. Several of the cordless tools come with free batteries right now, so we can probably reduce the number of batteries purchased and the get price down even more.
ILSOS will award as soon as specifications are verified. The solicitation will now be awarded by line item, low cost per line item will be awarded.
2. There are a few items that are listed on your request that are discontinued with no replacements from Milwaukee. We can try to substitute a suitable replacement if you’d like or just no quote it.
ILSOS is working to get updated item numbers for tools we have found to be discontinued. Please monitor BidBuy as a bid amendment will be posted shortly with that information.
3. There are also a couple of items on backorder at the factory with an unknown lead time. So I cannot promise we can meet the 3-30-25 received date you have listed on the bid. Please advise how you’d like us to proceed.
Delivery timeline should be kept as much as possible.
