FY-25 IVHQ - Quarterly (Jul-Sep) Weekly Food Order - Brand Specific

The state and local contract opportunity is for a Quarterly (July-September) Weekly Food Order for brand-specific items for the Illinois Veterans' Home (IVHQ). The Request for Quote (RFQ) includes a detailed list of 22 line items such as catfish fillets, pork loin fritters, chocolate pudding, and various baked goods, with estimated quantities and unit prices. Vendors must bid on all line items, and pricing must include any shipping or freight charges. Quotes must be submitted by the due date of May 21, 2024. The RFQ outlines COVID-19 protections that vendors must adhere to, and the pricing terms indicate that the actual order quantities throughout the fiscal year will be determined by need and funding. The contract will be for a one-year term, with the option to renew.

The RFQ does not specify any set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendor information is provided. The budget or award value is also not explicitly stated, but the contract is likely funded through the state's budget for the Illinois Veterans' Home. The Standard Illinois Certifications and Standard Terms and Conditions documents outline the extensive compliance and administrative requirements for vendors contracted by the State of Illinois.
