JPMC Ballasts Fluorescent, HID, LED

The State of Illinois, Central Management Services, in cooperation with the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a three-year joint purchasing master contract for the procurement of ballasts for fluorescent, high-intensity discharge (HID), and LED lighting. The contract will enable governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies to purchase the required ballasts on an as-needed basis during the contract period. The ballasts must meet specific standards, such as ANSI and UL compliance, and provide energy savings. Vendors must submit a discount percentage for each line item, and the State intends to award to the vendor providing the lowest overall price after discount. The IFB indicates that vendors must provide a price list or catalog listing for the covered products, and the contract pricing is estimated, with no expenses allowed.

There is no small business set-aside or veteran-owned small business goal for this procurement, but there is an 8% goal for businesses owned by minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. The current incumbent(s) are not identified, and funding requirements and sources are not specified. The contract term is three years, with no renewal options noted, and the estimated award value or budget range is not provided.
