EMERGENCY Notice - UPS Generator/Power/Battery

The State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) is entering into an emergency 90-day contract with SEPS, Inc. to engineer, furnish, and install new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, generators, and related equipment. The contract will also provide power installation, maintenance, emergency maintenance, and preventative maintenance services at various state locations. This emergency contract is being executed due to the expiration of DoIT's existing competitively bid contract with SEPS, Inc. on September 14, 2021, with no remaining renewals. The pricing and funding for this $102,000 emergency contract will be based on the previously competitively bid contract, utilizing state appropriated funds. SEPS, Inc. is the incumbent vendor and is familiar with the DoIT/ICN sites across Illinois, having installed the majority of the equipment currently in use. SEPS, Inc. also has the necessary security clearances and certified staff to perform the highly skilled work required under this contract.

This contract is restricted to SEPS, Inc. as the sole source provider, given their incumbent status, existing knowledge of DoIT/ICN sites and equipment, and security clearances. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is an emergency sole source contract. The current estimated value of the contract is $102,000, funded through state appropriated funds.
