IVHM FY '20 Flag Cases

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA), is seeking quotes for the procurement of 160 triangular Flag Cases and Personalized Plates for use in Veteran Funeral Services during Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020). The Flag Cases must be triangular in shape, have a hinged glass front with magnetic closure, include a wall mount, and hold a 5' x 9.5' U.S. Veteran Funeral Service flag. The Personalized Plates must be 1.5" high x 3" wide, with self-stick adhesive backing, gold color, and black lettering containing the Veteran's full name, military branch of service, and years of service. Orders will be placed throughout the contract term in increments of 20 Flag Cases per order, with Personalized Plates ordered on an as-needed basis. Vendors must provide delivery timelines, and all quoted prices must be valid for 180 days and include shipping and handling. The IDVA reserves the right to reject all offers, award by item or group of items, and the winning vendor will be selected based on the lowest total bid.

The solicitation does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is not identified, and the total award value or budget range is not disclosed. However, the contract is anticipated to cover Fiscal Year 2020, and the IDVA has indicated that no price increases will be accepted, and the agency is guaranteed the lowest price in the event of a price decrease. Additionally, the vendor must agree to partial shipment if there is a delay in the total order.
