The Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center is seeking to establish a fresh fruits and vegetables supply contract for fiscal year 2027 under small purchase procurement, with proposals due August 14, 2026.

The scope covers weekly deliveries of approximately 39 line items—apples, bananas, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, eggs (grade AA large), and other produce—to the facility at 1200 South First Avenue, Hines, Illinois 60141. Quantities listed in the specification represent estimated amounts per delivery and are not guaranteed minimums; items will be ordered on an as-needed basis. The contract term extends through June 30, 2027.

Vendors must comply with 34 mandatory certifications under the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office standard requirements, covering legal standing, tax compliance, drug-free workplace standards, cybersecurity provisions, domestic-product procurement rules, equal employment opportunity, and restrictions on international boycotts and forced labor. False certification or non-compliance may result in contract voidance, debarment, civil fines, or criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act.

Awarded vendors must carry general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, and worker's compensation insurance as required by law. Contracts of $1,000 or more are subject to a $15 minority contractor initiative fee deducted from the first payment. Payment is made under the State Prompt Payment Act, with invoices due no later than July 31 following the fiscal year of service. The State retains the right to terminate for convenience with thirty days' notice or for cause immediately, and the contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.
