AGR- Buildings and Grounds- Vacuums

The Illinois Department of Agriculture is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of vacuum cleaners for its buildings and grounds. The RFQ specifies the need for two models of vacuums: the SmartVac 664 (34-inch width) and the SmartVac 464 (24-inch width), both with features such as automatic surface adjustment, self-cleaning filters, battery operation, and digital hour meters. The agency requires one unit of each model. Vendors must submit quotes within 90 days, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder. The winning vendor must agree to partial shipments in case of delays in the total order, and the award will be based on the lowest total bid for all products and services. Quoted prices must include shipping and handling charges, and no price increases will be accepted.

The RFQ does not mention any set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or sources. The agency reserves the right to reject all offers, reject individual offers for failure to meet any requirement, award by item or part, and waive minor defects. The total award value or budget range is not specified in the RFQ.
