IDOC - Furnaces And Accessories

The State of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), is seeking to procure Goodman furnaces and accessories for the Sheridan Correctional Center through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). The procurement encompasses a comprehensive list of 15 line items, including furnaces, sheet metal parts, thermostats, and related accessories, with quantities ranging from 11 to 44 units. The solicitation requires vendors to provide high-quality furnace equipment that meets specific technical specifications, with brand names used to establish quality standards while allowing for equivalent alternatives. The contract opportunity is scheduled with a bid due date of November 19, 2024, at 11:00 AM CST, with a strict delivery requirement of 14 days following purchase order notification. The contract term extends from the date of signature through June 30, 2025, with delivery terms specified as FOB Destination and all transportation and handling costs included in the pricing. The agency reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part, suggesting flexibility in vendor selection and potential partial awards.

While the provided documentation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements. The contract will be funded through the State's fiscal year 2025 budget, indicating a structured procurement process with clear financial backing. No incumbent vendor is specifically mentioned for this furnace and accessories contract, and no details are provided about integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the volume of items (ranging from 11 to 44 units across 15 line items) suggests a moderate-scale procurement with potential significant value for the selected vendor(s). The BOA format implies the potential for multiple purchases throughout the contract period, which could provide ongoing business opportunities for the successful bidder.
