FY26-115 Collateral recovery tickets

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Commerce Commission, is procuring Collateral Recovery Tickets under contract FY26-115, with a submission deadline of March 19, 2026. This is a three-year supply contract requiring the vendor to produce and deliver 100,000 tamper-evident security tickets annually, with orders anticipated between June and July each year. The tickets must measure 8.5" x 3.667" when separated from 8.5" x 11" carrier sheets and feature a 3" x 3" tamper-evident security decal with VOID pattern technology equivalent to SafTSeal EX or EXM Void, mounted on pressure-sensitive release liners affixed to standard #28 white stock carrier sheets. Tickets must be consecutively numbered beginning at 1154001 with no skipped numbers, packaged in boxes of 1,000 tickets arranged into 20 shrink-wrapped bundles of 50 tickets each, and delivered inside within 30 working days after hard copy proof approval. The vendor must submit a digital proof within ten business days of contract execution and a hard copy proof within five business days thereafter for agency approval. All pricing must include inside delivery, freight, and handling, and the decals must maintain functionality across temperatures from -40°F to 200°F with reliable adhesion and tamper-evident performance in outdoor environments. The vendor bears full responsibility for correcting any numbering or printing errors, overruns, or defects at no cost to the state, and the agency reserves the right to reject any portion of an order within seven days of delivery for printing defects, incorrect numbering, or damaged packaging.

The State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions and Standard Illinois Certifications requirements apply to all bidders, requiring compliance with 34 mandatory certification requirements covering legal, ethical, and operational standards as a material condition of contract award. Vendors must maintain General Commercial Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, Auto Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Workers' Compensation as required by law, and must retain records for three years (five years if federal funds are used). The certification document does not identify any incumbent vendors or set-aside designations specific to this procurement, and no disadvantaged enterprise or other organizational restrictions are detailed in the available materials. All material substitutions for the decal, adhesive system, release liner, or carrier sheet require written agency approval prior to production. Delivery must be directed to Lance Bruere, Transportation Processing Manager, at the Illinois Commerce Commission, 527 East Capitol Avenue, Springfield, Illinois 62701. Contract pricing is contingent upon the confirmed annual order quantity of 100,000 tickets per year, with unit costs substantially dependent on this production volume; no specific budget range or award value is provided in the procurement documents.
