IFB - Lincoln Site Study Furniture

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ), is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of various furniture items for the new Illinois Youth Center (IYC) in Lincoln. The IFB seeks vendors to provide a range of furniture and related items, including desks, tables, chairs, credenzas, hutches, and other furnishings. The total quantities needed are specified in the IFB, and all furniture items must be delivered to a storage facility in Springfield, IL by August 12, 2023. The initial contract term will end on December 31, 2023, with no renewal options. Pricing must be submitted through the BidBuy system, and the State will award to the overall lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The IFB includes a 3% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal for minority, women, and disabled-owned businesses. Vendors must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and provide the required certifications and disclosures. The State has a policy to maximize the use of goods, products, and materials produced in Illinois, and a preference for American-made products. The awarded vendor will be responsible for delivering the furniture to the storage facility, and the agency will arrange for the final delivery to the IYC Lincoln facility. The contract value is not specified, but the Notice of Award indicates a total award amount of $115,895.17.
