FY-22 IVHQ - Dietary Condiment Kits

The State of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, is seeking bids for the procurement of dietary condiment kits for fiscal year 2022. The RFQ outlines the required quantities and types of kits, including regular, diabetic (sugar-free), low sodium, and diabetic/low sodium, with a total estimated quantity of 700,000 kits and average orders of approximately 25,000 per order. Vendors must provide pricing per kit and the total quote for all items, with quoted prices valid for 180 days and inclusive of shipping and handling. The agency will choose the winning vendor based on the lowest total bid for all products, and no price increases will be accepted. All products must be new and carry a minimum 1-year warranty from the date of delivery, and vendors must agree to partial shipments in case of delays on the total order.

The RFQ is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The agency does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the procurement does not appear to require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The total award value or budget range is not provided in the available documents.
