DNR - Compact Diesel Utility Tractor and Implements FY26 Rebid 2 - IRAP

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a procurement for a compact diesel utility tractor with multiple implements through an IRAP (Illinois Rehabilitative Assistance Program) solicitation. The procurement involves a diesel-powered, 4WD utility tractor with 38-62 horsepower, featuring a closed station cab with heat/AC, defrost capabilities, and LED work lights. The tractor package includes a loader with a material bucket, 1700-2400 lbs lift capacity, and true 3rd function hydraulics with a quick attach coupler. Eight specific attachments are required: a claw grapple, pallet forks, rotary mower/cutter, tandem 3-point disc harrow, rotary tiller, box scraper, landscape rake, and ballast box. The solicitation (Reference Document 26IRAP1A) is posted on October 24, 2025, with proposals due by October 30, 2025. All attachments are specified to be Cat 1 Quick Hitch compatible and designed for versatile agricultural, landscaping, and maintenance tasks. Vendors must carefully review the detailed technical specifications for each component and ensure complete compliance with the procurement requirements.

The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with standard Illinois state procurement requirements mandating comprehensive vendor certifications across 33 distinct compliance points. Vendors must demonstrate adherence to workplace conduct standards, tax compliance, employment policies, and governmental interaction regulations. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requires vendors to confirm they are not barred from state contracts and maintain ongoing compliance throughout the contract term. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, vendors must complete the Standard Certifications V23.1 form, which includes provisions for minority contractor initiatives and anti-discrimination measures. The procurement documents suggest potential integration with existing state infrastructure and technology systems. Although a specific award value is not stated, the comprehensive nature of the tractor and implement package indicates a substantial contract value consistent with state-level equipment procurement standards.
