Vendor Questions and Agency Responses B-52227.docx

This is a Vendor Questions and Agency Responses document issued by the Illinois Department of Corrections for solicitation 26-426DOC-CENTO-B-52227 regarding medical-grade refrigeration units and vaccine data loggers. The procurement seeks bids for medical-grade refrigeration equipment and vaccine data logging systems to be distributed across multiple facility locations. A vendor inquiry regarding the required product list and quantities for each delivery location was submitted during the bidding process. The agency responded by providing a Quantities by Location list as an attachment to clarify the distribution requirements, enabling vendors to accurately calculate shipping costs, installation expenses, and logistics planning for their proposals.

The document serves as clarification material within the competitive bidding process, addressing a critical gap in the initial bid documentation that vendors required to submit complete and accurate cost proposals. By furnishing the location-specific quantity breakdown, the agency facilitated a more responsive and competitive bidding environment. The response document does not specify pricing terms, contract award dates, response deadlines, or contract term information, as these details remain contained in the primary Invitation for Bid documentation.
