Emergency Notice - UPS Generator/Power/Battery September

The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) is entering into an emergency contract with SEPS, Inc. to provide statewide services for the engineering, furnishing, and installation of new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, generators, and related equipment. The contract will also cover power installation, maintenance, emergency maintenance, and preventative maintenance at various locations across the state. The emergency contract is for the Illinois Century Network (ICN) division and is intended to replace the current contract with SEPS, Inc. that expires on September 9, 2022. The new emergency contract will be in place from September 10, 2022 through December 8, 2022, with an estimated value of $3,500,000. DoIT has set a 4% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal for this emergency procurement, and SEPS, Inc. has agreed to meet this goal. An Invitation for Bid (IFB) is currently in development to replace the goods and services provided under this emergency contract.

This emergency contract is open to all qualified vendors, but DoIT has set a 4% BEP goal, which means that at least 4% of the contract value must be performed by businesses owned by minorities, women, or persons with disabilities. SEPS, Inc. is the incumbent vendor, and the current infrastructure and technology they have in place will require integration with the new contract. The estimated value of the emergency contract is $3,500,000, which will be funded through state appropriated funds.
