IDOC - chemical munitions and distraction devices - JTW

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking bids from responsible vendors to provide chemical munitions and distraction devices on an as-needed basis. The contract has an initial term of 36 months with the option to renew for up to an additional 36 months. Bids are due by February 16, 2021 at 10:00am CST, and IDOC will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder who submits the lowest price. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) outlines detailed specifications and quantities for 59 different types of chemical munitions and distraction devices, and pricing must be submitted in the specified format. The total payments under this contract shall not exceed a maximum amount to be determined by the State prior to execution. This procurement is brand-specific, and no small business set-aside applies.

The contract was previously awarded to Ray O'Herron Co., Inc. for a 36-month term with three 36-month renewal options and a total award amount of $280,666.61. No other bidders responded to the prior solicitation. The procurement does not appear to have any specific business enterprise program or veteran's business program goals. Submissions must be made electronically through the BidBuy system, as the State of Illinois will only accept electronic submissions for competitive solicitations.
