FY19 DOIT Shredder Maintenance(SP)

The state of Illinois has posted a contract opportunity for FY19 DOIT Shredder Maintenance. The contract will cover the provision of shredder maintenance services for the state's Department of Innovation and Technology (DOIT) for an initial 1-year term with up to four 1-year renewal options. The selected contractor will be responsible for regularly scheduled maintenance, repairs, and the supply of any necessary parts for the state's shredding equipment. Responses to this opportunity are due by June 15, 2018.

The state has indicated that it has determined there are an insufficient number of qualified small businesses available to compete for this contract, which has an estimated annual value of $18 million. As a result, the state is seeking a waiver from the Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) program requirements in order to open the contract to full and open competition, which they believe will result in the best value for the state. The current incumbent provider is a large business. No budget range or award value information has been provided.
