The State of Illinois, through the Pontiac Correctional Center, is seeking to establish a one-year contract for the lease of a 53-foot electrical refrigeration truck on an as-needed basis.

Bids must be submitted no later than September 30, 2024 at 10:00 AM, and there is no mandatory pre-bid conference. The contract will have an initial term of one year, with no renewal option, and the total payments under this contract shall not exceed a maximum amount to be determined by the state prior to execution. The contract is subject to the availability of appropriated funds, and the state may terminate the contract for convenience or for cause.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The state has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The estimated value or budget range for this contract has not been provided in the available documentation.
