About this file
This is a Response to Vendor Questions document issued by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for Menard Correctional Center regarding Liquid Laundry Detergent Bid #26-426DOC-MENAR-B-50287, Amendment #1. The procurement seeks liquid laundry detergent supplies with specific performance requirements, including stain removal capability testing with a Stain Removal Index (SRI) greater than 375. Vendors are required to submit one quart samples for sample approval prior to bid award. The specification requires that Stain Flag Performance Testing results be submitted with the bid; however, IDOC has clarified that vendors may submit a quote without initial testing results, provided that testing is completed during the sample approval phase before the contract is awarded.
The previous contract for this item (21-426DOC-SOURC-P-27596) expired on June 2, 2025, and there is currently no active contract or incumbent vendor. The last supplier was Joem Chemical. IDOC clarified that they do not have a current product in use and therefore cannot provide manufacturer specifications or part numbers for reference. Vendors submitting bids by the stated deadline may proceed without completed testing results, understanding that sample approval testing must be finalized before contract award to meet the specified performance standards.

Menard Correctional Center – Liquid Laundry Detergent Bid #26-426DOC-MENAR-B-50287 Amendment #1 Response to Vendor’s Questions
Below is the response to the questions that IDOC has received regarding the Liquid Laundry Detergent in BidBuy.
1) Is there an expiring contract for this item? And if so, what is the bid number so we can research.
Answer: Contract 21-426DOC-SOURC-P-27596 expired on 6/2/2025.
2) Who is the incumbent if under contract currently?
Answer: There is currently no contract.
3) Is there a product that you are currently using where you can share the manufacturer and part number of the product currently in use.
Answer: We do not have a current product. The last product was supplied by Joem Chemical.
4) The specs for the bid state “Stain Flag Performance Testing Must Be Submitted with Bid with an SRI (Stain Removal Index) of >375. With our manufacturing partner having to create this formula, there is no way we’d have testing results back to us in time for the 23rd. It takes about a month to get this done and get results. Are you OK with us providing a quote and if accepted we can submit the formula for testing?
Answer: Yes, you can provide a quote. The testing will need to be completed for the sample approval. As outlined in section 1.2 Supplies and/or Services Required, (4) – One Quart Samples will be required for sample approval prior to bid being awarded.
