DHS-SP-Kiley-Miscellaneous Foods- FY27

The Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) is soliciting proposals for a miscellaneous foods procurement to supply the Ann Kiley Center for fiscal year 2027. This is a general services contract requiring vendors to provide food items to support the operations and programs of the designated state facility. The procurement was posted on January 14, 2026, with a proposal due date of January 28, 2026, allowing interested vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their bids. While the attached documentation does not specify the exact quantities, types of food items, delivery schedules, or performance metrics required, vendors must comply with all Illinois Department of Human Services Standard Terms and Conditions for General Services contracts and maintain appropriate insurance coverage as outlined in the procurement requirements. Interested parties should direct any technical questions or clarifications regarding the scope of work through the formal vendor questions and answers process before the submission deadline.

Vendors responding to this procurement must meet comprehensive eligibility and compliance certifications as established by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, including confirmation of legal standing, absence of delinquent state debt, drug-free workplace certification (if applicable), compliance with prevailing wage requirements, and adherence to anti-discrimination and forced labor prohibitions. All vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, along with applicable workers' compensation coverage. The contract structure is contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly and may be terminated for convenience with 30 days' written notice or immediately for cause. The contract incorporates payment terms compliant with the State Prompt Payment Act, with invoices due by July 31 for services rendered through June 30 of each fiscal year. The specific award value, budget allocation, and any potential set-asides for disadvantaged business enterprises are not detailed in the available procurement documents, and prospective vendors should contact the DHS for this critical budgetary information.
