EMA - FY26 Radon Test Kits

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is seeking a vendor to supply radon test kits for a two-year contract period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, specifically targeting St. Clair County and other state jurisdictions. The procurement involves approximately 1,500 test kits annually, procured through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with no guaranteed minimum quantities. Mandatory specifications for the test kits include sequentially numbered, activated charcoal kits with color instructions, return postage, 24-hour lab analysis, visible serial numbers, and kits manufactured within 30 days of shipment. Vendors must provide per-unit pricing that includes shipping to Springfield, IL, return postage, and comprehensive lab analysis. Key requirements mandate that manufacturers be licensed with IEMA and comply with specific quality assurance standards, with test kits requiring a minimum one-year warranty. The bid submission deadline is June 23, 2025, with pricing required to remain valid for 90 days, and the state reserves the right to reject offers or award contracts partially.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises based on the provided documents. The contract appears open to qualified manufacturers capable of meeting the technical specifications for radon test kits. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement emphasizes new products and strict manufacturing standards. The state will evaluate bids based on total product costs, with vendors required to submit comprehensive pricing that includes all associated services. Though no specific budget range is detailed, the estimated annual purchase of 1,500 test kits suggests a moderate-scale procurement. The contract includes standard State of Illinois procurement terms, which outline comprehensive requirements for vendors, including provisions for payment, invoicing, record retention, and compliance with state regulations. Vendors must be prepared to meet detailed operational and financial expectations, including potential background checks, confidentiality obligations, and maintenance of appropriate insurance coverage.
