DOC - WICC - Tortilla MJ Kellner Oct. - JRS

The state and local contracting opportunity is for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) between the Western Illinois Correctional Center and a vendor for the purchase of various food items. The BOA lists 10 different food items such as burritos, tortillas, tamales, pizzas, eggs, and kosher beef and fish products, along with the quantities for each item. The BOA has a term beginning upon signature and ending on June 30, 2022, and the vendor must provide pricing according to the specified unit of measure, with all transportation and handling costs included. The BOA also includes provisions around subcontractors, record keeping, and contractor performance. The funding source is from the state's fiscal year 2022 appropriations.

The opportunity is specifically for Calhoun County in the state of Illinois. The state has issued a notice informing bidders and offerors that it will only accept electronic submissions through the BidBuy system, and any submissions sent by other means will not be considered. For Requests for Proposals, vendors must utilize two separate BidBuy Bid numbers - one for the technical proposal and other required documentation, and a separate one for the pricing proposal, to ensure the pricing remains unavailable until after the technical evaluations are completed. The notice does not provide any details about the specific products or services being requested, project overviews, item quantities, award dates, contract terms, or other salient information beyond the electronic submission requirement.
