911-Statewide Communication Consoles-UPP Piggyback Cooperative-ah

The state of Illinois, specifically the Illinois State Police and Sangamon County, is pursuing a procurement opportunity for communication consoles through a piggyback cooperative contract with Watson Furniture Group utilizing GSA contract #GS-27F-004GA. The primary objective is to acquire communication consoles that support telecommunication and radio equipment necessary for telecommunicators to perform dispatch duties within an Illinois State Police communication center. This procurement is not a traditional solicitation but rather an agency-specific contract leveraging an existing cooperative agreement. The contract was initially awarded on March 19, 2025, with a total award amount of $240,596.50 for an initial one-year term. The procurement has a defined timeline, with the opportunity posted on March 20, 2025, and a response due date of March 28, 2025. The communication consoles are expected to provide critical infrastructure for dispatchers, enabling efficient communication and operational support for emergency services.

The contract does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, as the Notice of Award explicitly shows 0% participation in both the Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veterans Business Program (VBP). Watson Furniture Group is the sole vendor identified for this contract, which was competitively awarded through the GSA schedule. The procurement allows for potential renewal terms for up to three additional periods, suggesting potential long-term value and continuity. While the exact budget range is not comprehensively detailed, the initial award of $240,596.50 provides insight into the potential contract value. The contract appears to be technology-focused, requiring integration with existing telecommunication and radio equipment in the Illinois State Police communication center, though specific technical requirements are not elaborated in the provided documentation.
