IDOC - FS - advocate core hygiene filler paper - carh

This state and local contract opportunity is for the procurement of wide-ruled filler paper by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). The Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) covers the purchase of over 1,800 packages of filler paper to be delivered to 27 different IDOC facilities across the state. Bids are due on October 26, 2021, and the agency requires delivery of the items by November 15, 2021. The contract term will be in effect from the date of signing through June 30, 2022. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the BidBuy system, adhering to the State's COVID-19 protection requirements, and may also be subject to additional vaccination or testing requirements. The agency reserves the right to order additional quantities at the awarded bid price for 15 days after contract execution, and the contract will be awarded either in whole or in part.

This opportunity is open to all vendors, and the procurement process does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The solicitation does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total value of the contract is not explicitly stated, but the wide range of delivery locations and estimated quantities of over 1,800 packages of filler paper suggest it could potentially be a significant procurement for the state.
