IDOC-CentraliaCC-WaterSoftnerPellets-JWW

The State of Illinois is seeking bids for a one-time purchase of 50 bags of Morton Professional Water Softener Pellets 50LB or an approved equivalent product. The contract will be between the State of Illinois and the selected vendor, with the procurement being handled by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for use at the Centralia Correctional Center in Madison County. The contract term will be from the date of signature through June 30, 2022, with pricing to include a unit price per bag and a total contract amount. The procurement will be funded through the Employee Benefit Fund, and the contract includes standard State of Illinois terms and conditions as well as required vendor certifications.

The State has issued a Notice requiring that all responses be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system, superseding any conflicting instructions in the solicitation documents. For this procurement, vendors must submit their technical proposals and other required documents through a Primary Bid number, and their pricing proposal through a Secondary Bid number to ensure pricing remains "locked" until after the technical evaluations are completed. The solicitation does not provide any details on evaluation criteria, set-asides, or incumbent vendors, and the total award value or budget range is not specified.
