The State of Illinois is seeking bids for a contract to provide a paper cutter and related maintenance services for fiscal years 2023-2024. The contract, to be awarded by the Illinois Department of Revenue, requires the successful vendor to supply a BaumannPerfecta BP80 31.5" Cutter or a comparable paper cutter, as well as quarterly maintenance and repair services on the equipment after the manufacturer warranty expires until June 30, 2024. The equipment must be delivered to the Illinois Department of Revenue, Willard Ice Building, in Springfield, IL no later than June 30, 2023. The contract has an initial term upon execution until June 30, 2024, with no renewal options. Pricing is to be firm, with all expenses included in the vendor's price, and no subcontracting is allowed.

The contract opportunity is open to all vendors, but there is a small business set-aside provision that allows a small business awarded the contract to subcontract no more than 49% of the contract value to a non-registered small business. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the total contract value is not specified. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the BidBuy procurement system by October 14, 2022 and complete the required Forms A and B certifications and disclosures. The contract is subject to the State Prompt Payment Act and contingent upon appropriation.
