18-0052 Plaza Thermal Receipt Paper

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA) is seeking quotes for the supply and delivery of thermal receipt paper to be used at toll plazas throughout the Tollway system. The ISTHA has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) with detailed technical specifications, including requirements for the paper's dimensions, roll length, core construction, image color, brightness, and packaging. The estimated contract term is two years, from August 16, 2018 to August 15, 2020, with the potential for up to two years of renewal. Quotes must be submitted by July 19, 2018 at 10:30 AM Central Daylight Time, and the ISTHA will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder who submits the lowest price. No price increases will be allowed during the contract term, and the ISTHA does not guarantee any minimum order quantities. Bidders are required to submit a sample roll of the thermal receipt paper prior to the contract award, and the successful bidder's sample will become the master sample used to verify compliance with the contract specifications for future shipments.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this RFQ. The ISTHA has not provided any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any details about existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration. The RFQ does not specify a budget range, but the estimated total quantity of 12,500 rolls of thermal receipt paper suggests a significant contract value.
