IDOC-FS-Military Brush STA-BMM

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) has issued a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for the purchase of Military Brushes with nylon bristles and plastic handles. The BOA specifies the purchase of 105 cases of the brushes, with delivery required by August 13, 2021. Bids are to be submitted via the BidBuy system, and the agency reserves the right to order additional quantities at the awarded bid price for 15 days after contract execution. The term of the BOA is from the date of signatures through June 30, 2022. The pricing terms indicate the brushes are to be bid with a unit price and extended price, with the vendor responsible for all transportation and handling costs. The agency reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part. Bidders must be compliant with the State's certifications and disclosures, including Forms A and B, financial disclosures, and board of elections registration. The agency will make the final determination on brand and model equivalency for any alternate proposals.

The State of Illinois has notified bidders and offerors that all submissions for competitive solicitations, including this BOA, must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system. Any submissions sent outside of BidBuy will not be accepted or considered. The notice also clarifies that the electronic submission requirement supersedes any conflicting instructions in the IFB or RFP, and that submissions will only be considered if received through BidBuy by the indicated time and date. The contracting opportunity does not provide any information on set-aside designations, restrictions on organizational types, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges.
