Emergency Notice Plow and Spreader Parts FY26: Monroe Parts

The Illinois Department of Transportation has issued an emergency procurement for Monroe brand snowplow replacement and repair parts to address an immediate operational need. This 90-day contract, effective April 14, 2026, through July 12, 2026, is being procured by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services on behalf of the Department of Transportation and encompasses all departmental divisions (D1 through D9) based in Springfield. The procurement involves the purchase of snowplow repair parts and accessories necessary to maintain state equipment and protect against further loss or damage. The emergency nature of this procurement was justified due to the absence of an available CMS Master replacement contract at the time of purchase declaration, and Monroe Truck Equipment, Inc., of Monroe, Wisconsin, was selected based on its status as the last contract holder for snowplow repair parts. The deadline for this procurement is July 12, 2026. The contract represents an estimated total expenditure of $475,000.00, funded through State Appropriated Funds. Interested vendors should be aware that this is an authorized emergency procurement with a defined scope limited to the specified timeframe and parts categories.

This emergency procurement was authorized under expedited procedures on March 16, 2026, by Omolara Erewele, Procurement & Contracts Section Chief/APO, and establishes a Business Enterprise Program goal-setting requirement with a calculated zero percent goal for this specific procurement. No existing state contract was available to address the emergency need, which necessitated the direct authorization and sole-source selection of Monroe Truck Equipment, Inc., as the designated vendor. Organizations responding to this procurement should understand that the contract is restricted in scope to the emergency purchase authorization period and is limited to Monroe brand parts and accessories. The procurement budget is established at $475,000.00 for the entire 90-day contract period. Vendors must be capable of providing snowplow repair parts and accessories compatible with Monroe equipment used throughout the Illinois Department of Transportation's nine divisions and meet any applicable state vendor registration and compliance requirements.
