IDOC - Statewide Safety Equipment Rental

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is procuring statewide safety equipment rental services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. IDOC is seeking to establish a contract for the rental of various safety equipment, including scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts, and scaffolding, to be utilized across the agency. The contract will have an initial term of five years, with the potential to extend the total term up to ten years. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the state's BidBuy portal by the due date of May 31, 2024. IDOC will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder that submits the lowest price. The pricing structure includes equipment rental rates as well as delivery and pickup costs, and vendors may request annual economic price adjustments not to exceed 3% or the change in the Consumer Price Index.

IDOC has not set any participation goals for minority-owned, women-owned, person with disability-owned, or veteran-owned businesses for this solicitation. The agency has included standard vendor disclosure requirements, such as providing an active Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) registration number and certifying the vendor is not barred from contracting with the state. No incumbent vendor information or budget ranges have been provided. Interested parties are advised to monitor BidBuy for any re-bid opportunities or future related solicitations, as the current IFB has been cancelled due to the need for proposed amendments that would warrant a new procurement.
