IVHQ FY23-FY24 Reagents - Hach

The state and local contract opportunity is for the procurement of Hach brand reagents for an SL1000 analyzer used at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Illinois. The contract is for a two-year period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, with quarterly orders placed in both fiscal years. The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for six different Hach reagent items, including monochloramine, nitrate, free ammonia, total chlorine, total ammonia, and free chlorine reagents. Vendors must provide pricing and product information for each item, as well as confirm adherence to COVID-19 protection requirements. The RFQ states that all quoted prices must be valid for 90 days and include shipping and handling, with no price increases accepted. The agency reserves the right to reject all offers, award by item or in total, and choose the winning vendor based on the lowest total bid.

The procurement opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract value is not explicitly stated, but the agency has provided an estimated annual usage for the required reagents, which would determine the total contract value over the two-year period.
