About this file

This is a Vendor Question and Answer document for Illinois Secretary of State contract 26-350SOS-EXECO-B-50839 regarding the procurement of custom water bags. The solicitation seeks 15,000 clear water bags with a spout, printed with the State Seal and "Illinois Secretary of State" branding. The bags feature curved construction with varying dimensions: approximately 4.75 inches wide at the bottom, 10.50 inches tall from spout tip to bag bottom, and 4 inches wide near the top before curving toward the spout. This is a one-time purchase with a bid opening scheduled for January 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The delivery destination includes a dock and lift gate at the loading bay, eliminating the need for vendor-supplied equipment for unloading.

The previous award for this item totaled $6,840 for the same quantity and specifications, though this price reflected a rush order premium above the original estimate. Vendors should reference the provided images for precise bag dimensions and construction details when preparing their bids.
