The state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of a boiler and chiller cleaning machine, related equipment, and supplies by the East Moline Correctional Center, a state agency in Illinois. The requested items include a boiler/chiller cleaning machine, flexible shaft, flex hone, boiler brushes, and repair tools. The procurement has an estimated dollar amount of $2,652.40. The contract term is not specified, but the Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) has a start date of the date of execution and an end date to be determined. The vendor must comply with state laws and regulations, including prevailing wage requirements and record retention policies.

The procurement is subject to a Small Business Set-Aside Program waiver request, as the agency was unable to find a qualified small business vendor to provide the required product. The agency is citing the high bid from Tiles and Styles, exceeding the estimated amount at $9,392.00, as the justification for the waiver request. The set-aside requirement may be waived if the agency is unable to identify a small business vendor that can meet the specifications at a reasonable price. No additional information is provided regarding incumbent vendors, award values, or budget ranges.
