The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is posting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of staff retirement badges and coordinating carrying cases. The IFB requests bids from responsible vendors to provide up to 1,000 silver retirement badges, 1,000 gold retirement badges, and 800 leather badge cases, with the option to renew for additional quantities. Bids are due by July 14, 2021 at 10:00am CST through the State's BidBuy electronic procurement system. The resulting contract will have an initial term of 5 years, with the option to renew for up to an additional 5 years. The IFB provides detailed technical specifications for the retirement badges and cases, including design, size, lettering, attachment, finish, and packaging requirements. Pricing is requested for the initial quantities as well as renewal pricing.

This is not a small business set-aside, but the IFB does include a 3% Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities (BEP) participation goal. The total payments under the contract shall not exceed $110,000 without a formal amendment. The solicitation does not indicate any existing incumbent vendors or contractors, and there are no details provided on any current infrastructure or technology that would require integration.
