IDOC- Ticking Cotton

The Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically the Centralia Correctional Center, is procuring 10,000 yards of cotton ticking material to be used in mattress covers. The required material must meet or exceed Federal Specification CCC-C-436E for Type II, Class 2 cotton ticking, with a width of 44 inches, a fire-retardant treated weave, and a weight of 7 oz/sq. yard. Vendors must submit bids no later than August 19, 2024 at 12:00 am CST, and a sample of the material must be approved by the Correctional Center before the full order can be shipped. Delivery of the items is requested as soon as possible after contract execution, but no later than June 30, 2025. Pricing for the material must be FOB destination with all transportation and handling included.

The procurement does not have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no incumbent vendor specified, and the total contract value is estimated. The contract is contingent upon the availability of funds, and the State may terminate the contract for convenience with 30 days' notice. Vendors must comply with the State of Illinois' standard certifications and terms and conditions, which cover a range of requirements related to eligibility, conflicts of interest, environmental compliance, and other ethical and legal obligations.
