ICI - IL River Emergency Flour 2

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Corrections' Division of ICI - IL River, is seeking emergency procurement of white and wheat flour to support its bakery operations. The procurement is necessary due to the current vendor's inability to supply the required flour at the necessary price. The emergency contract will have a term of up to 90 days, with the option to extend beyond that period if the Chief Procurement Officer determines additional time is necessary. The total estimated cost of the emergency procurement is $213,000, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Proposals are due by February 6, 2019, and no bidder's conference is scheduled, but site visits can be arranged upon request. The subsequent contract resulting from this emergency procurement will have a term of one year, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The contract will be funded through state appropriations, and there is no indication of any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The successful vendor will be required to integrate with any existing infrastructure or technology used by the ICI - IL River bakery operations.
