APS Retractable Banners

The Illinois Department on Aging is seeking to procure retractable banners for its Adult Protective Services Program. The banners must be vinyl, single-sided, and retractable with a case and built-in stand, approximately 72" in height by 36" wide. The banners will provide information on assistance available to persons affected by Elder Abuse and Abuse of Persons with Disabilities, with content in both English and Spanish. Vendors must submit quotes via the BidBuy system by the due date of April 13, 2022. The Department intends to have the banners delivered by June 30, 2022, and any supply chain issues must be communicated within five business days. The pricing must be firm for 180 days from the quote due date and must be inclusive of all materials, freight, and associated costs. The resulting contract will include a clause requiring the vendor to adhere to COVID-19 protection requirements specified in Governor J.B. Pritzker's Executive Orders, and the Agency may implement additional vaccination or testing requirements.

The procurement is open to all interested and qualified vendors. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The documents do not indicate any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no mention of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget for this procurement is not explicitly stated, but the Department expects to purchase the banners within their current fiscal year appropriations.
