About this file
This is a Vendor Q&A document for the Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) related to a promotional basketball stress ball procurement (Contract No. 26-350SOS-EXECO-B-50961). The project involves a one-time purchase of basketball stress balls featuring a single-color graphic with "Illinois Secretary of State" printed in black lettering. Delivery must be completed by May 8, 2026, with FOB Destination terms. ILSOS has a loading dock with lift gate access available for delivery. Items should be delivered in standard commercial packaging within boxes; if vendors choose to ship boxes on pallets, prior notification to the dock and Physical Services is required, as the agency does not have adequate pallet storage space. Delivery within 3 to 5 days after the in-hands date is acceptable depending on freight availability.
The procurement accepts products manufactured and shipped from overseas provided the May 8, 2026 deadline is met. The previous bid tabulation for this same requirement (Contract No. 25-350SOS-EXECO-P-75840) was $12,280.00, which may serve as a reference for pricing expectations. The document was updated on February 4, 2026.
