AGR-ISF B and G-Gooseneck Trailer

The Illinois Department of Agriculture is seeking to procure a 32-foot I-Beam Gooseneck Trailer through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with specifications matching or exceeding a 2025 Sure-Trac 8.5x22+10 HD Low Profile Goose-neck Deck-over Trailer. The procurement is classified as a small purchase under $50,000 and will be funded by state resources. Vendors must be established manufacturers or authorized dealers with parts and service capabilities within Illinois. The trailer must be delivered within 30 days after receipt of order to the Springfield Building and Grounds located at 801 East Sangamon Avenue, Springfield, IL 62702. The contract term runs from the date of execution through June 30, 2025, with pricing to be F.O.B. destination and all transportation and handling costs included in the unit price. Payment will be processed in accordance with the State Prompt Payment Act, and this represents a one-time purchase of equipment.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly outlined in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to provide a high-quality trailer that meets or exceeds the specified performance standards. The budget range is implied to be under $50,000, which is consistent with the small purchase classification. Vendors will need to ensure they can provide a trailer that matches the performance characteristics of the referenced Sure-Trac model, with comprehensive parts and service support available within Illinois. The procurement timeline is relatively compressed, with the posting date of January 22, 2025, and a due date of January 29, 2025, suggesting vendors should be prepared to respond quickly and have immediate manufacturing or inventory capabilities.
