The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), is issuing a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to procure various library supplies for the Pontiac Maximum Security Facility in Lasalle County. The procurement includes approximately 40 units of items such as color coding stickers, date due slips, genre stickers, and book tapes. Bids are due by March 26, 2021 at 3:00 PM CST, and the items must be delivered by April 15, 2021. The Agency reserves the right to order additional quantities at the awarded bid price for 15 days after contract execution. The BOA has a term from the date of signatures through June 30, 2021, and pricing must be in accordance with the specified unit of measure. The Agency reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part.

The procurement utilizes the Illinois Procurement Gateway certification process, but there is no information provided about any set-asides, incumbent vendors, or funding sources. Bidders and offerors are required to submit their responses electronically through the BidBuy system, and any required attachments must also be submitted via BidBuy. For RFPs, vendors must use separate BidBuy bid numbers to submit their technical proposals and pricing proposals to ensure pricing remains "locked" until after technical evaluations are completed.
