IDOC- 54" Tan Vinyl

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), specifically the Centralia Correctional Center located in Madison County, is seeking to procure 10,000 yards of 54" tan vinyl fabric for the production of shower curtains. The fabric must meet specific technical requirements, including a weight of 10.5 ounces per yard, flame retardant properties, tear-resistance, and double-sided coating. Vendors must submit a fabric sample for approval before the full order can be shipped, with delivery required within two weeks of receiving the purchase order. The solicitation is a small purchase procurement valued under $50,000 and is funded through state appropriations for fiscal year 2026. Electronic bids will be accepted through BidBuy or email, with a strict deadline of 10:00 AM CST on September 23, 2025. Delivery of goods is restricted to Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., excluding state holidays, and all transportation and handling costs must be included in the pricing, which should be F.O.B. destination.

The contract does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement follows the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2), which requires vendors to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate for general commercial liability. Vendors must also comply with all applicable laws, maintain accurate records for three years, and transfer manufacturers' warranties. The contract is set to begin upon signatures and will terminate on June 30, 2026. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the state reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part. The total contract value is anticipated to be under $50,000, making it a relatively small procurement opportunity within the state's correctional facilities infrastructure.
