Emergency Notice Warehouse 4

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is procuring emergency warehousing and logistics services to maintain continuous operations of the state's federal emergency medical cache through an emergency purchase statement. This procurement covers secure storage, inventory management, environmental monitoring, climate control, security systems, emergency backup infrastructure, and logistics support for emergency medical equipment and pharmaceuticals at a facility meeting Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) standards and all applicable local, state, and federal regulatory requirements. The contract period runs from February 8, 2026, through May 8, 2026, serving as a short-term bridge until the competitively awarded long-term contract (IFB 25-482DPH-FINAN-B-48312) is finalized. Key deliverables include monthly technical reports due by the 20th of each month, data visualization platforms for inventory tracking, compliance with state document archival protocols and the IMS system, and response to service requests within four hours during normal operations and two hours during emergencies or training environments. The selected vendor must be equipped with specialized regulatory, security, environmental, and operational infrastructure capable of maintaining uninterrupted custody and compliance without disrupting emergency preparedness, and all documentation, data, and work products must be turned over to government entities upon completion. The posted date was February 11, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 8, 2026.

Agiliti Health, Inc., located at 7 Finance Drive, Units 7-9, Bloomington, Illinois 61704, has been selected as the sole vendor and is the current incumbent, as it already houses the materials in a compliant facility equipped with the required infrastructure. An IDPH search for Business Enterprise Program (BEP)-certified vendors meeting the specialized regulatory, security, environmental, and operational requirements identified no qualified BEP-certified alternatives capable of maintaining uninterrupted custody and compliance without disrupting emergency preparedness, which supports the emergency procurement justification and sole-source award. The total estimated expenditure for this contract is $298,498.60, with funding sourced from federal appropriations. No data obtained during this effort may be disclosed without written authorization from the IDPH Office of Preparedness and Response Deputy Director or SNS Program Manager, establishing strict confidentiality protocols. This emergency procurement is necessary to bridge operations until the full competitive procurement process is completed, prioritizing the continuity and integrity of the state's emergency medical cache over standard competitive procurement procedures.
