DHS SP - Kiley - Kitchen & Household Supplies- FY27

The Department of Human Services (DHS) for the State of Illinois is seeking a qualified vendor to provide kitchen and household supplies to the Ann Kiley Center in Sangamon County. This procurement, posted on January 12, 2026, with a due date of January 21, 2026, requires vendors to supply an unspecified range of kitchen and household supplies necessary for the Center's operations. Required qualifications for vendors include maintaining General Commercial Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $2,000,000 annual aggregate, Auto Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Worker's Compensation Insurance as mandated by law. Vendors must comply with the State Prompt Payment Act for payment processing, retain all books and records for three years (or five years if federal funds are involved), and obtain prior written approval before engaging any subcontractors. The contract will be awarded on a competitive basis to the responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria focusing on cost-effectiveness and vendor capability to meet the Ann Kiley Center's supply needs. All proposals must be submitted by the January 21, 2026 deadline, with invoices required to be received by July 31 for services rendered through June 30 to avoid referral to the Illinois Court of Claims.

The procurement documentation does not explicitly identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other restricted vendor categories; however, all vendors must comply with equal opportunity requirements under the Department of Human Rights and applicable federal, state, and local laws. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The contract terms indicate that the State of Illinois retains sole ownership of all work products and deliverables as "work for hire" under copyright law, and vendors must indemnify the State against claims arising from their performance or breach of certifications. The contract commences upon execution and extends through June 30, 2026, with the State reserving the right to terminate for convenience with thirty days' notice or immediately for cause if performance jeopardies health or safety. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available solicitation documents, though the total contract value will be determined by the State based on responsive bids received.
