G3 Combat Apparel

The Illinois State Police (ISP) is procuring combat uniforms under Bid #26-493ISP-FOREN-B-51130, with a posted date of February 19, 2026, and a due date of February 26, 2026. The procurement involves the supply of combat apparel uniforms to be delivered to the ISP for operational use by state police personnel. According to a vendor clarification amendment, the combat apparel will not require decoration with State of Illinois patches or USA flag patches, streamlining the specification requirements. Prospective vendors must comply with 34 separate certification requirements established by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, encompassing financial standing, criminal history clearance, drug-free workplace compliance, labor law adherence, environmental protection standards, and cybersecurity clearance. Vendors are required to maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, along with auto liability and workers' compensation insurance as mandated by law. The State of Illinois does not maintain an existing account with Crye Precision for these apparel orders, indicating an open competitive procurement process. Contract performance will be governed by the State Prompt Payment Act, with invoices due no later than July 31 following the fiscal year in which services are rendered, and the State reserves the right to terminate for convenience with thirty days' notice or for cause immediately upon notice.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor preferences; however, all responding vendors must certify compliance with Illinois-specific requirements including delinquent state debt clearance, Illinois Use Tax compliance, prohibitions on political contributions and improper lobbying, American-made steel requirements for applicable public works, forced labor and child labor prohibitions, and information technology accessibility compliance. No pricing information, budget allocation, award values, or contract term details are disclosed in the available procurement materials. The contract is contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly, and the State may suspend or terminate without penalty if sufficient funding becomes unavailable. All work products and intellectual property created under the contract become the sole property of the State of Illinois. Contract administration and any disputes will be governed exclusively by Illinois law and subject to the Illinois Court of System Claims, with arbitration prohibited. Interested vendors should submit proposals by February 26, 2026, to be considered for award.
