Emergency Final Cost - WSRC Clay Targets

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), is seeking to procure an emergency supply of clay targets for the World Shooting and Recreational Complex (WSRC) located in Sparta, Illinois. This emergency procurement is necessary due to the failure of two previous procurements over the past three months to result in an award. The required clay targets include AAs, pheasants, rabbits, mids, and battues, and the final cost of the emergency purchase is $55,842.15 for a term from October 25, 2021 to November 1, 2021. This emergency purchase will provide enough targets to keep the WSRC facility open and operating for approximately three months, allowing IDNR to successfully procure a multi-year contract. The WSRC facility generates approximately $240,000 annually in revenue from shooting events, and running out of clay targets would result in a loss of $20,000 per month in revenue as customers would seek more reliable shooting locations.

This emergency procurement has no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement was limited to two vendors, GPARE, Inc. and Reagent Chemical DBA White Flyer Targets, with GPARE, Inc.'s quote being $371.07 less than Reagent Chemical's. There is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the procurement does not appear to require any specific technology or infrastructure integration.
