IDOC - FS - Paper Shredder - CARH

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) to procure a paper shredder. Specifically, the IDOC is seeking to purchase a Fellowship Xcut 26 sheet C420C shredder through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) contract. The successful vendor must deliver the shredder as soon as possible, but no later than 15 days after the order is placed. Bids will be opened on August 7, 2020 at 3:00 PM CST, and vendors must submit their bids through the state's electronic procurement system, BidBuy. The IDOC reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part, and will make the final determination on brand and model equivalency if a vendor proposes an alternative item. The contract includes standard State of Illinois terms related to payment, prevailing wage compliance, subcontractors, audits, termination, availability of appropriations, and warranties.

The solicitation does not appear to include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The documents do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The BOA contract does not specify an award value or budget range, though it is a contract for the purchase of a single paper shredder for the IDOC.
