The State of Illinois is seeking bids for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) under $50,000 for the purchase of 336 cans of 21 oz Deodorizing Cleanser Powder for the Shawnee Correctional Center. The bid is due on May 17, 2022 at 9:00 AM, and the materials must be delivered by June 30, 2022. The contract term begins upon final signature and ends on June 30, 2022. The contract includes COVID-19 protection requirements, such as masking and vaccination/testing for on-site work. The BOA outlines standard state contract terms and conditions, including payment, assignment, subcontracting, audits, confidentiality, ownership, indemnification, insurance, and compliance requirements. It also addresses termination for cause or convenience, and the availability of appropriations. The vendor must complete state-required certifications, and the contract may be partially or fully federally funded.

The State will only accept electronic submissions for this competitive solicitation through the BidBuy platform. Bidders and offerors are required to submit their responses through BidBuy, and any information sent outside of the BidBuy system will not be accepted or considered. The document clarifies that the electronic submission requirement supersedes any conflicting instructions in the solicitation, and that submissions will only be considered if received through BidBuy by the specified due date and time. Vendors must utilize two separate BidBuy bid numbers - one for the technical proposal and required documentation, and a separate one for the pricing proposal, to ensure that pricing information remains "locked" and unavailable until the technical evaluations are completed.
