IDOC SP wEC Concordia Shredding

The Illinois Department of Corrections is soliciting a contract for secure shredding services of approximately 330,000 pounds of paper materials. This procurement opportunity was posted on December 8, 2025, with a proposal due date of December 10, 2025, providing a compressed timeline for interested vendors to submit responses. The primary objective is to safely and securely dispose of large volumes of departmental records through professional shredding services. While the attached specification document references a pyrolytic oven for laboratory equipment procurement rather than shredding services, the core requirement centers on secure document destruction meeting confidentiality and compliance standards. Qualified vendors must demonstrate experience in handling sensitive government documents and possess the operational capacity to process substantial quantities of materials. The evaluation criteria and specific performance standards for vendor selection have not been detailed in the available documentation, though secure handling protocols and compliance certifications would likely be considered essential qualifications.

No information regarding set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise preferences, or restrictions on respondent eligibility has been provided in the available contract documentation. Similarly, no incumbent vendors or current contractors have been identified in the posted materials. The contract budget or award value range has not been disclosed in the solicitation documents. Given the discrepancy between the stated shredding procurement and the attached pyrolytic oven specification document, prospective bidders should contact the Illinois Department of Corrections directly to clarify the actual scope of work, obtain complete contract specifications, and confirm submission requirements prior to the December 10, 2025 deadline.
