Emergency Notice-UPS Elect Rep G1306 DuQuoin

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, through the Bureau of Strategic Sourcing at Central Management Services, has authorized an emergency purchase for diagnosis and repair of a damaged uninterruptible power supply at the Illinois State Police G1306 911 Call Center in DuQuoin, Illinois, with a listed due date of January 25, 2027. This is public notice of an emergency declaration, not an open solicitation, and the vendor is F.W. Electric, an SBSA-certified vendor based in Benton, Illinois.

The agency reports no Business Enterprise Program (BEP) registered vendors were available under NIGP code 91082 in Perry County, and the nearest BEP vendor in Peoria County would lack familiarity with the system and potentially require extended assessment time. Before engaging F.W. Electric, the agency first contacted JPMC Electrical, the Region 8 contract vendor under P-40363, which declined the work.

The vendor will diagnose the failure and repair the UPS, including the transfer switch, damper motor, and associated valves rendered inoperable by a power surge acknowledged by Ameren Power. Restoring UPS backup allows the 911 call center to stop relying on its emergency generator.

The estimated expenditure is $19,500, funded through State Appropriated Funds. The purchase is categorized as an "Estimated" cost emergency, and an Emergency Final Cost form is required within ten days of the succeeding month if actual expenditure differs from the estimate.

The emergency was declared October 28, 2026 and authorized October 29, 2026 by Martha Blackwell, Facilities Portfolio Manager, under 30 ILCS 500/20-30 and 44 Ill. Adm. Code 1.2030, certifying competition as practicable under the circumstances. The notice, posted November 2, 2026, lists Piatt County (FIPS 17147) as the jurisdiction.
