EMA - GEMS Sampling Cartridges - ARG

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS) is seeking to establish a two-year contract for the procurement of Radioiodine and Particulate Filter Sampling Cartridges. The specific requirement is for Radeco Brand, Part Number 0750-69P Model PS-400 cartridges, with an anticipated delivery of up to 2,400 cartridges per fiscal year. The procurement mandates that the cartridges meet eleven specific technical specifications, including precise requirements for geometry, assembly, labeling, diameter, finish, marking, contents, pressure drop, and methyl iodine retention. Vendors must provide new products with a minimum one-year warranty, and all quoted prices must remain valid for 90 days, inclusive of shipping and handling charges. The contract opportunity is posted on June 12, 2025, with proposal submissions due by June 18, 2025. Evaluation will be based on the sum total of all items, and the State reserves the right to reject all offers or award by individual item or total contract value.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. However, the standard Illinois certifications document outlines comprehensive compliance requirements that vendors must meet, including commitments to non-discrimination, maintaining a drug-free workplace, and adhering to various legal and ethical standards. Vendors must complete 33 distinct certification areas covering business practices, employee treatment, tax compliance, and procurement integrity. While no specific budget range is listed, the contract terms include provisions for potential pricing adjustments, with the State guaranteed the lowest price in case of market decreases. The standard terms and conditions specify insurance requirements, including general commercial liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Potential vendors should carefully review the comprehensive documentation, including the mandatory specifications, standard certifications, and terms and conditions, to ensure full compliance with the State of Illinois procurement requirements.
