ILSOS Apparel with Embroidery IFB

The Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) is requesting bids for the production and delivery of vests with the ILSOS Seal for staff members statewide. The initial order is estimated to be 4,430 vests, with sizes ranging from small to 5XL in both men's and women's styles. Bids are due by May 31, 2023 at 2:00 PM Central, and the resulting contract will have an initial term upon execution through June 30, 2024, with the option to renew for up to 3 additional one-year terms. Pricing is requested in a specific format, with award to be made to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest total cost. Expenses are not allowed, but a discount may be offered for prompt payment.

This is not a small business set-aside, but ILSOS encourages hiring of qualified veterans and Illinois residents discharged from adult correctional centers. The contract will be funded by ILSOS, and the maximum total contract value is to be determined. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and no details on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
