The state and local contract opportunity is for a four-month emergency cable television contract for the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at the Kewanee Life Skills Re-Entry Center in Henry County, Illinois. The Request for Quote (RFQ) seeks a vendor to provide full-service television programming services for an estimated 180-225 connections at the facility. The contract requires the vendor to meet detailed specifications for the cable TV services, including a minimum channel lineup. Pricing must be submitted in a specific format, and the contract is firm, not estimated. Vendors must submit their quotes by May 3, 2022 at 3:00 pm, and there is no mandatory bidder's conference or site visit.

The contract opportunity does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ also does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify an award value or budget range. The contract is contingent on the availability of appropriated funds, and vendors must comply with the State of Illinois' Standard Certifications, which cover a wide range of areas such as civil rights, employment practices, financial disclosures, environmental compliance, and ethical business conduct.
