CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - IDOC Ready to Wear Textile Products

The state of Illinois has issued a Change Order Notice for Ready to Wear Textile Products through the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), targeting procurement of textile-based apparel and related items. While specific details about the precise textile products are limited due to the corrupted PDF attachment, the contract opportunity appears to involve a modification to an existing textile product procurement contract. The procurement is specifically focused on state-level correctional facility requirements, suggesting clothing or uniforms for inmates or correctional staff. The contract opportunity was posted on January 7, 2025, with proposals due by January 22, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window of approximately two weeks. Potential vendors should carefully review the change order documentation to understand the exact modifications being proposed to the existing textile product contract.

Given the limited information available, it is challenging to definitively state specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions. However, state corrections contracts often have specific qualification requirements related to manufacturing capabilities, product compliance with institutional standards, and potential preferences for local or disadvantaged business enterprises. The change order suggests this is likely an amendment to an existing contract, which implies there may be an incumbent vendor already providing textile products to IDOC. Without access to the complete change order documentation, precise award values or budget ranges cannot be determined. Interested vendors should contact the Illinois Department of Corrections directly to obtain comprehensive details about qualification criteria, specific textile product specifications, and any potential reserved contract allocations for specific business categories.
