FY25 Mabley SP - Dishwashers/Sanitizers plus delivery

The State of Illinois is seeking a small purchase procurement for seven high-temperature dishwashers/sanitizers for the Department of Human Services, with a specific solicitation focused on technical specifications for institutional kitchen equipment. The procurement, identified by contract number 25-444DHS-DEVDI-B-48154, requires undercounter dishwashing machines with precise technical requirements including a 17" door opening, capability of processing 32 racks per hour, and consuming 0.74 gallons of water per rack. Key deliverables include units with hot water sanitization, Sense-a-Temp booster heater, advanced service diagnostics, removable stainless steel scrap screen, and digital controls. The solicitation was posted on June 5, 2025, with proposals due by June 11, 2025, creating a relatively short response window of approximately six days. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with extensive technical specifications, including features like chemical pump auto-prime functionality, delime notification, and a deep-drawn stainless steel tank.

Potential respondents must complete the State of Illinois Standard Certifications, which encompasses 33 compliance areas covering vendor eligibility, legal standing, and ethical conduct. The procurement appears open to businesses authorized to operate in Illinois, with strong emphasis on meeting diversity, equal employment, and non-discriminatory standards. Vendors must certify compliance with state laws regarding business practices, employment standards, and ethical conduct, including provisions about drug-free workplaces, human rights regulations, and technology accessibility. While specific award value is not detailed, the procurement suggests a moderate-scale institutional equipment purchase. Vendors will need to demonstrate financial stability, provide required insurance coverage (including $1,000,000 commercial liability insurance), and meet comprehensive legal and operational certifications. Failure to meet these stringent requirements could result in contract voiding, suspension, or potential civil and criminal penalties.
