IDOC - 523 - certified kosher passover meals - carh

The State of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), is seeking bids for Certified Kosher Passover Meals. The IDOC requires 303 cases each of five different meal options, including Filet of Sole, Boneless Chicken Breast, Meat Loaf, and Seasoned Beef Pot Roast, all of which must be certified Kosher for Passover. The meals must be delivered to the Hill Correctional Center in Galesburg, Illinois by March 29, 2023. This is a one-time purchase contract, and the State reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part. Pricing must be submitted in the format shown in BidBuy, and the total contract price is estimated, with no expenses allowed and the total payments not to exceed a maximum amount to be determined by the State prior to execution.

The RFQ includes provisions for small business and minority/women-owned business set-asides, but does not indicate if there is an incumbent vendor. The State of Illinois' Standard Terms and Conditions for state and local government contracts apply, which cover payment terms, contractual requirements, and other provisions. The contract may not be assigned or subcontracted without prior written approval, and vendors must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, maintain required insurance coverage, and act as an independent contractor.
