About this file

This document is a question and answer (Q&A) sheet related to a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the purchase of 8,000 tote bags for the Office of the Ombudsman. The tote bags need to be delivered within one week after the RFQ closes, although this date may be adjusted. The purchaser is open to considering overseas production with a longer 14-16 week lead time, but the purchase must utilize Federal Grant funds that expire on September 30, 2023. The supplier has informed that the tote bags must be shipped in case quantities of 100, and the purchaser has agreed to this requirement.

The RFQ requests 24 tote bags for Alternative for Older Adults and 1,076 tote bags for the IL Dept of Aging. The purchaser has stated that if the items need to be shipped in quantities of 100, the solution of sending 2,000 to IL Dept of Aging, who can then forward to Alternative for Older Adults, is acceptable.

Totes for the Office of the Ombudsman Q & A

Question 1:

The RFQ says you want them one week after the RFQ closes? Is this true?

Answer 1:

This is the intended contract date and will be adjusted at PO if necessary.

Question 2:

With this quantity, 8,000, there is an opportunity to produce these overseas at a lower cost, but the lead time is 14-16 weeks. What is your desired in hands date on this request? Is that an option you would like to look at? Or I can look at the in stock option.

Please advise.

Answer 2:

This purchase is utilizing Federal Grant funds which expire September 30, 2023.

Question 3:

My supplier has informed me the tote bags must drop ship in case quantities of 100. Please advise if we can up the quantities to and even 100 for the Ship to: Alternative for Older Adults (24 units requested) and IL Dept of Aging (1,076 units requested.) Or if we can just send 2,000 to IL Dept of Aging and they can forward to Alternative for older adults.

Answer 3:

If items need to be shipped in quantities of 100, the solution above is acceptable.
