EMERGENCY FINAL COST NOT A BIDDING OPPORTUNITY DHS Personal Protective Equipment

This is not a bidding opportunity, but rather the publication of the final cost of an emergency procurement contract. The State of Illinois' Department of Human Services procured 4,250,000 nitrile gloves of various sizes from the established vendor The Moving Concierge to address the COVID-19 public health crisis. The emergency purchase was made through an existing state contract, as the Department of Human Services needed to obtain the personal protective equipment quickly. The expected term of the contract was from June 25, 2020 to June 30, 2020, with the final total cost of $1,207,500.00. This emergency purchase was funded through state appropriated funds, and the final cost and term of the contract are being reported to the Chief Procurement Office and the Auditor General per the requirements of the Illinois Procurement Code.

There is no set-aside designation or restriction on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is not a bidding opportunity. The incumbent vendor, The Moving Concierge, was able to procure and deliver the needed personal protective equipment in a relatively short timeframe. The budget for this emergency procurement was $1,207,500.00.
