CMS-Small Purchase-IOCI Tricaster Video Production Switcher

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services, on behalf of the Illinois Office of Communication and Information (IOCI), is seeking to procure a Tricaster video production switcher for its production studio in Springfield, Illinois. The required equipment includes a Newtek Tricaster 8000 Advanced Edition system with a control surface, as well as associated cables and rack rails. The procurement is set aside for certified small businesses in Illinois under the NIGP Code of 840 55, and bids must be submitted by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 through one of three methods: uploading to BidBuy, mailing, or emailing. The procurement requires the completion of a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) contract and the State of Illinois Standard Certifications, which cover a wide range of compliance and disclosure requirements.

The procurement is a small purchase set-aside, so only certified small businesses in Illinois are eligible to submit bids. The current incumbent, if any, is not specified. The procurement documentation does not include any information on the potential award value or budget range for the contract.
