Emergency notice - IDOC - jitc non medical furniture

This is an emergency procurement notice issued by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for the purchase of corrections-safe, non-medical furniture for the IDOC Joliet Hospital facility. The furniture includes various tables, chairs, dining, storage, office, and conference items required for the construction plan of the facility. The total expenditure for this emergency purchase is $634,404.48, and the expected contract term is from July 29, 2024, to October 26, 2024. This procurement is being conducted in St. Clair County, Illinois. The vendor selected for this emergency procurement is Wiley Office Equipment, a certified Business Enterprise Program (BEP) vendor, as they were the sole vendor to offer the necessary availability and pricing for the required items during a competitive solicitation in 2023. The agency has utilized best efforts to include BEP-certified contractors in this emergency purchase process. The funding source for this expenditure is the Capital Development Board (CDB).

The emergency nature of this procurement has limited the competitive bidding process, with Wiley Office Equipment being the sole vendor able to meet the requirements and timeline. However, the agency has made efforts to include BEP-certified contractors, which are disadvantaged enterprises, in this procurement. The incumbent vendor or current contractor information is not provided, and the budget range for this contract is $634,404.48.
