Anti-Bacterial Wipes

The Illinois Secretary of State is seeking a procurement of anti-bacterial disinfecting wipes for driver service facilities statewide through a Request for Quote (RFQ) numbered 26DS014001. The solicitation specifically targets Lysol Anti-Bacterial wipes or approved equivalent products, with precise specifications including 75 count per container, 6 containers per case, and the capability to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. The total quantity requested is 600 cases, with delivery required within two weeks of contract award. The contract term is set for 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2026, with a maximum potential contract term not exceeding ten years. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with vendors required to include shipping costs in their pricing. The RFQ's proposal deadline is June 6, 2025, and vendors must submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating compliance with product specifications and various state and federal regulatory requirements.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide multiple certifications covering ethics, tax compliance, workplace standards, and anti-discrimination provisions. The contract is subject to appropriation availability and may be terminated if sufficient funding is not secured. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, potential bidders must demonstrate the ability to provide high-quality disinfecting wipes that meet the specified performance standards. The total contract value will be determined by multiplying the unit price by the 600-case quantity, with the maximum contract amount to be established prior to contract execution. Vendors must maintain a drug-free workplace, provide equal employment opportunities, and comply with all relevant state and federal regulations. The solicitation allows for scented wipes, as clarified in the accompanying questions and answers document, providing some flexibility in product offering.
