ACA_Turning Targets RFI_ARN

The Illinois State Police (ISP) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a turning target system to be installed at the ISP Firing Range in Pawnee, Illinois. The ISP is seeking information on innovative and flexible solutions to replace the current target system installed in 2000. The RFI invites vendors to submit non-proprietary, non-price information about the availability of specified types of supplies and services, including turning or presentation of targets upon command, ease of maintenance and upgrades, and the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Vendors are asked to provide background information, product descriptions, and potential pricing structures, but not actual costs. Responses are due by March 21, 2019 at 5:00 PM Central Time. The RFI states that the state of Illinois reserves the right to make all submissions public and requires a lengthy maintenance agreement and full warranty covering the entire system for a minimum of 24 months after installation. The RFI is not a procurement method and will not result in a contract award, but the information received may be used for a future procurement process.

This RFI does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFI does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFI does not provide any information about possible award values or budget ranges.
