IVHQ Reagents - Hach FY20

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of Hach reagents by the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs for use at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Illinois. The agency is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for specific quantities of six Hach reagent items to be delivered over the course of the 2020 fiscal year, with approximate monthly usage provided. The winning vendor will be chosen based on the lowest total bid for all products. Quotes must be submitted by August 5, 2019, and all quoted prices must be valid for 180 days, include shipping and handling, and cannot increase over the contract period. The agency reserves the right to reject any or all offers, award by item or in total, and requires the vendor to agree to partial shipments in case of delays. The agency is seeking pricing and warranty information from potential vendors.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement documents do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the value of the contract is not explicitly stated, the agency is likely operating within a set budget for the required Hach reagents for the 2020 fiscal year.
