IVHQ- Small Purchase with Emergency conditions- Laundry Services

The Illinois Department of Corrections issued a Small Purchase with Emergency Conditions procurement for linen and laundry services with a contract period from December 28, 2025 through January 31, 2026. This expedited procurement was posted on December 24, 2025 with an identical due date, indicating urgent operational needs for the state facility. The agency requires comprehensive linen services including acquisition, laundering, and delivery of institutional linens necessary for daily operations across the Department of Corrections facilities. The specific deliverables, performance standards, and service level requirements are outlined in the supporting documentation, though the primary objective is to ensure continuous availability of clean, properly maintained linens throughout the contract period. Vendors must demonstrate capability to provide reliable, timely service with appropriate quality control measures and compliance with all applicable state procurement regulations and institutional specifications.

The procurement does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular categories of vendors or disadvantaged enterprises based on the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information is referenced in the posted materials. The emergency conditions classification suggests this procurement may bypass certain standard competitive procedures typical of larger or non-urgent purchases. Budget information and specific award values are not disclosed in the posting materials provided, though the emergency small purchase designation generally indicates the contract value falls below standard competitive bidding thresholds. Interested vendors should contact the Illinois Department of Corrections directly for complete specifications, detailed service requirements, pricing instructions, and any additional documentation necessary to prepare a responsive proposal for this time-sensitive procurement.
