DHS SP Kiley - Miscellaneous Foods FY23

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking to procure miscellaneous food items for consumption by individuals at the Kiley Center. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) lists 16 line items including fruit cups, applesauce, whipped topping, Gatorade, juices, sodas, oatmeal, muffin mix, popcorn, frosting, and canned chicken, with requested quantities ranging from 20 to 960 cases. Vendors must provide pricing, contact information, and delivery timeframe, as the facility requires weekly or monthly deliveries between 7AM and 2PM. Unit prices are to be fixed during the contract term, although actual quantities ordered may vary based on facility needs. The facility is tax exempt, and no award date or contract term is provided.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Similarly, the RFQ does not list any possible award values or budget ranges. However, vendors must adhere to the COVID-19 safety requirements outlined in the state's Executive Orders, which mandate the use of face coverings, COVID-19 vaccinations, or COVID-19 testing for contractors working in certain public facilities.
