DES - SP w/ SSC - Mailing Machine Lease

The State of Illinois has posted a small purchase with sole source conditions for the lease of mailing machine equipment. The procurement is being led by the Department of Enterprise Services and is intended to secure a vendor to provide the necessary mailing equipment and services. Key requirements include compliance with the state's standard terms and conditions as well as 33 standard certifications covering civil rights, tax obligations, environmental regulations, and prohibitions on forced or child labor. Vendors must acknowledge and agree to abide by these terms for the duration of the contract and any renewals. The procurement has a posted due date of March 30, 2020, leaving a tight timeline for responses.

This opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor has it provided information on existing infrastructure or technology that would require integration. While the specific award value or budget range is not disclosed, this is designated as a small purchase, suggesting the contract value would be relatively limited in scope.
