EMA- Temp/Humidity Chamber - JS

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (EMA), is seeking bids for the procurement of 1 temperature and humidity chamber. The specific model required is the Z-Plus ZP(H)-16, which must meet stringent specifications for testing electrical leakage in direct reading electrostatic/electroscope type dosimeters. The chamber must have dimensions of 30" x 30" x 30" and be capable of achieving specific temperature and humidity ranges, ramp times, and other performance criteria. The vendor awarded the contract will be responsible for delivery, installation, start-up, and training services. The contract term is anticipated to be a one-time purchase, with no indications of an ongoing service requirement or option to renew. The solicitation documents include standard state contracting forms, certifications, and terms and conditions that must be completed and submitted with the bid response.

The state's procurement is open to all interested vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The justification for using a brand name specification cites the need for the Z-Plus model to satisfy the EMA's specific technical requirements, as well as the desire to maintain continuity of service and compatibility with existing custom software. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, and the total anticipated cost of the procurement is not provided. The agency has a forklift and utilities available on-site for the vendor's use during installation.
