IRCC - IBF - Speed Queen Commercial Washers & Dryers - JSW

The Illinois River Correctional Center (IRCC) is seeking to procure 12 Speed Queen Commercial Top-Load Washers (Model SWNMN2SP115TW01) with 3.19 cu.ft capacity and 6 Speed Queen Commercial Electric Dryers (Model SDEMNRGS153TW01) through a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). This small purchase procurement is specifically for facility equipment to be used within the correctional center's laundry operations. Bids are due by 11:00 am CST on 10/25/2024, with electronic submissions accepted through BidBuy or email. Vendors must provide F.O.B. destination pricing that includes all transportation and handling costs, with a required delivery timeline of 30 days following contract award. The contract term extends through 6/30/2025, and deliveries will be accepted Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., excluding state holidays, at the facility's warehouse receiving dock. The agency reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part, indicating flexibility in the procurement process.

The procurement appears to be funded through state sources for fiscal year 2025, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation mentioned in the documentation. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, and the solicitation does not outline specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements. The procurement is being conducted as a small purchase under $50,000, suggesting a relatively modest budget range. The Standard Terms and Conditions document indicates general requirements for vendors, including mandatory insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence for General Commercial Liability and Auto Liability, and potential compliance with minority contractor fee provisions for contracts exceeding $1,000. Vendors should be prepared to meet standard state procurement requirements, including potential record retention obligations of 3-5 years and potential subcontracting approval processes. The final contract will be contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly.
