DHS SP FOX supplements

The state of Illinois has posted a contracting opportunity for the Department of Human Services (DHS) to procure supplemental food products under the heading "DHS SP FOX SUPPLEMENTS". This opportunity is open to interested vendors, with proposals due by June 19, 2020. The state is seeking a contractor to provide a variety of nutritional supplements, including vitamins, minerals, and other food-based products, to support the state's Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Key objectives include ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality supplements that meet all applicable regulatory standards and that can be efficiently distributed to WIC program sites across the state. Qualified respondents should have significant experience in the production, packaging, and distribution of nutritional supplements, as well as the ability to meet stringent quality control and food safety requirements.

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 any information on existing infrastructure or technology that may need to be integrated. While the state has not disclosed a specific award value or budget range, it is likely that the total contract value will depend on the projected volume of supplemental food products required to support the statewide WIC program over the contract term.
