ICI Warehouse - Corrugated Boxes

The Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI) Warehouse, is seeking a vendor to supply corrugated boxes through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). The procurement involves the acquisition of brown kraft single-wall C-flute corrugated boxes with specific dimensions of 18" x 12" x 12", featuring 200-lb. bursting strength or 32 ECT minimum and a 65-lb. maximum content load. The contract (number 25-426DOC-ICIWA-B-45315) will run from the date of signature through June 30, 2025, with a minimum order requirement of 250 bundles/pallets, each containing 25 boxes. Vendors must ensure the boxes have a minimum of 25% recycled content. The bid submission deadline is November 11, 2024, at 11:00 am CST, with proposals accepted through BidBuy or email. The agency reserves the right to award the entire bid or partial portions, and the successful vendor will be responsible for shipping boxes to the agency's warehouse.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the standard terms and conditions document suggests compliance with state procurement regulations. The contract appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation. The contract is structured as a Basic Ordering Agreement under $50,000, indicating a relatively modest procurement value. The Standard Terms and Conditions document indicates that vendors must comply with various state requirements, including prompt payment provisions, record retention, confidentiality agreements, and adherence to legal and regulatory standards. Potential vendors should carefully review the comprehensive terms and conditions document to ensure full compliance with Illinois state procurement protocols and contractual expectations.
