EMERGENCY NOTICE - Dietary Grocery Items Dixon CC

The Illinois Department of Corrections is posting an emergency procurement notice for dietary grocery items at the Dixon Correctional Center. The Department reached out to several vendors and selected Advanced Commodities, Inc. to provide various dry goods and frozen items necessary for the continued operation of the food service at the correctional facility. The order is for an estimated $115,000 and will be in effect from March 10, 2022 to June 8, 2022. The current contract holder, MJ Kellner, was unable to fulfill the order due to inventory constraints. This emergency procurement was made with as much competition as was practicable under the circumstances, and best efforts were made to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program.

The procurement is limited to the jurisdiction of Livingston County in Illinois. The purchase will be funded through state appropriated funds. No additional evaluation criteria or qualifications were listed. The authorized signature on the document indicates the contents are true and correct to the best of the signer's knowledge. No information was provided regarding incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, or award value ranges.
