EMERGENCY Notice: WSRC Emergency Purchase White Flyer Clay Targets

This is an emergency procurement by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services on behalf of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for the World Shooting Recreational Complex (WSRC). Due to a shortage of white flyer clay targets, an emergency purchase is needed to address a serious disruption to the year-round shooting events held at the WSRC. The vendor G Pare Inc., located in Kentucky, has the required targets in stock and can immediately deliver multiple semi-load shipments to meet the WSRC's needs. This emergency purchase will provide the targets until a formal Invitation for Bid (IFB) contract can be completed, with an expected start date of June 14, 2023 and an expected end date of September 11, 2023. The total estimated expenditure for this emergency procurement is $84,475.65, to be funded through state appropriated funds.

There are currently no Business Enterprise Program (BEP) registered vendors that provide the required clay targets. The emergency procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond have been specified. No incumbent vendors or current contractors have been identified, and there is no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
