IDOC MEN SP w/SSC Waste Disposal/Landfill Access JRA

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at Menard Correctional Center is seeking a vendor to provide waste disposal and landfill access services through a small purchase procurement with sole source conditions. The procurement is issued by the State of Illinois on behalf of Cook County and requires the vendor to provide services within a 50-mile radius of the facility. The solicitation was posted on December 11, 2025, with a proposal due date of December 15, 2025, representing a compressed timeline for submission. While specific deliverables and performance metrics are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement focuses on securing reliable waste management services essential to facility operations. The State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions, which govern this contract, establish baseline requirements including general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, worker's compensation insurance, compliance with equal opportunity requirements, and adherence to prevailing wage standards where applicable. All services must comply with state and federal laws, and the State retains the right to terminate the contract for convenience with thirty days' notice.

The small purchase with sole source conditions designation indicates restricted competition, though specific set-aside eligibilities or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation. The State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions require vendors to maintain compliance with background check procedures, confidentiality obligations, and record retention requirements of three years (or five years if federal funds are involved). As a sole source procurement, there are no identified incumbent vendors listed in the available materials, though the compressed timeline and sole source justification suggest an existing service relationship or operational necessity that limits competition. Payment terms follow the State Prompt Payment Act, requiring invoicing by July 31 for work completed through June 30 of the fiscal year. No specific contract award value or budget range is provided in the available documentation, though the essential nature of waste disposal services for a correctional facility suggests a routine operational expenditure.
