AGR - B&G - Crowd Control Gates

The Illinois Department of Agriculture, Buildings and Grounds has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of two hundred (200) interlocking Crowd Control Barrier/gates. The gates must meet specific size, material, and design requirements, including a "bridged foot" base, durable galvanized finish, and interlocking hook arms. Vendors must submit quotes by the due date of March 2, 2021 through the BidBuy system. The contract term is through March 31, 2021, with the vendor required to deliver the gates by that date. The RFQ provides detailed pricing instructions, requiring vendors to submit a per unit price for the 200 gates. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor providing the lowest total cost.

The procurement does not appear to have any small business, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned set-aside requirements. Subcontractors are allowed if the annual value exceeds $50,000. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the RFQ does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not specified, but the RFQ indicates the procurement is a small purchase under the simplified acquisition threshold.
