This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of radioiodine and particulate filter sampling cartridges by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) on behalf of St. Clair County. The mandatory specifications outline the required cartridge geometry, assembly, labeling, diameter, finish, marking, contents, pressure drop, methyl iodine retention, and brand compatibility. Vendors are required to complete a pricing table and provide contact information. The contract term is from March 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021, with IEMA estimating an annual purchase of approximately 2,400 units. Pricing must be valid for 90 days, include shipping, and cannot increase during the contract term. The State reserves the right to reject offers, award by item or group, and waive minor defects. Vendors must agree to partial shipments and provide a minimum one-year warranty. Award will be based on the total evaluated cost across all products.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The pricing table requires vendors to provide per unit costs for the two-year contract term, but there are no minimum purchase guarantees. IEMA estimates 2,400 units per year, but the actual purchase quantity may vary. Vendors must not bill for any taxes unless proof is provided that the State is subject to the tax. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and no existing infrastructure or technology requires integration.
