IDOC-DCT cable contract IBF-NK

Decatur Correctional Center is soliciting a two-year cable contract through the State of Illinois Department of Corrections. The procurement was posted on December 23, 2025, with a submission deadline of December 31, 2025. While specific technical specifications regarding the cable type, quantity, and installation requirements are not detailed in the available documentation, this contract represents a service maintenance agreement typical of correctional facility infrastructure needs. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with all 34 enumerated state certification requirements outlined in the Standard Illinois Certifications form (Version 26.2), which encompasses legal entity status verification, absence of criminal convictions for bribery or felonies, current tax compliance, drug-free workplace certification, equal employment opportunity compliance, and restrictions on hiring former state procurement officials. For multi-year contracts, vendors must recertify by January 1 of each subsequent fiscal year and disclose any changes affecting their eligibility status. All subcontractors must comply with identical certification standards, which are material conditions of contract performance throughout the entire contract term.

The contract is subject to standard Illinois procurement restrictions and requirements applicable to all state vendors. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are noted in the available documentation, though a Minority Contractor Initiative fee applies to contracts valued at $1,000 or more. Vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance, comply with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act requirements, secure all necessary permits and licenses, and submit quality control plans as directed. The contract includes provisions allowing the State to terminate for cause, for convenience with thirty days' notice, or due to insufficient appropriation, with payment administered under the State Prompt Payment Act. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range is provided in the available documentation, though the contract structure suggests a two-year service agreement with potential renewal periods up to ten years under standard state contract terms.
