AGR- Meat & Poultry Annual Supply Order

The Illinois Department of Agriculture is seeking bids for an annual supply order of meat and poultry inspection equipment and materials through a Request for Quote (RFQ). The RFQ includes a detailed list of 30 items such as lab coats, boots, safety equipment, and knives, with specified quantities ranging from 1 to 90 units per item. Vendors must bid on all items to be considered for an award, and the contract will be awarded to the vendor with the lowest total bid across all products. The RFQ provides technical specifications for each item and a vendor quote sheet for pricing and delivery information. All quoted prices must be valid for 90 days, include shipping and handling, and no price increases will be accepted. The agency reserves the right to reject any offers, award by item or group, and require partial shipments in case of delays.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The agency does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor is there any information provided about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not specify a budget range or award value, but the contract will be awarded to the vendor with the lowest total bid.
