Color Digital Production Press

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a five-year contract with a maximum total term of ten years to lease a color digital production press. The winning vendor must provide a monthly leased press with maintenance, repairs, and supplies for 25,000 color and 2,000 black and white impressions. The press must meet detailed technical specifications, and delivery and installation must be completed within 48 hours of contract execution. Bidders must submit pricing and all required documents, including vendor disclosure forms and utilization plans, through the BidBuy online procurement system by the bid opening date of October 10, 2024. A pre-bid conference was held on October 3, 2024 to discuss requirements, and any questions must be submitted in writing no later than 3 days after the conference.

The procurement may be designated as a small business set-aside, and successful bidders may be eligible for employment tax credits. While the IFB does not have a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) Goal, there may be a Veteran Small Business Participation (VSBP) Goal. The contract may be partially or fully funded with federal funds, but the available budget range is not provided. The current incumbent vendor and contract value are not specified in the documentation, and pricing terms, set asides, and other salient details are limited.
