BIDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED-Emergency Notice- Face Shields and Level 2 Gowns

This state and local contracting opportunity is an emergency procurement by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) for personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used by IDHS staff at state facilities. Specifically, IDHS is seeking to purchase 378,450 disposable medical gowns that meet FDA Level 2 certification and 28,790 face shields. This emergency purchase was necessary due to an inventory error that left IDHS with less than 20,000 gowns and 0 multi-use face shields. The expected contract term is from August 4, 2020 to September 30, 2020, with an estimated cost of $1,660,234.50. IDHS selected the vendor The Moving Concierge due to their established relationship and ability to quickly procure and deliver the required PPE. There was no existing state contract available for these specific supplies, and the procurement was necessary to address a threat to public health and safety during the COVID-19 crisis.

This opportunity is not open for bidding, as IDHS intends to directly procure the required PPE. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is an emergency, sole-source procurement. The Moving Concierge appears to be the incumbent vendor, and no budget range or award value is provided, as the contract has already been awarded.
