JPMC Breath Analysis Instruments

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is seeking to establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract to enable CMS, governmental units, and qualified not-for-profit agencies to procure Breath Analysis Instruments on an as-needed basis. The solicitation, with the BidBuy Reference Number 23-416CMS-BOSS4-B-29195, requires vendors to provide newly manufactured breath analysis instruments that meet the specifications of the CMI Intoxilyzer 8000 model. The contract will have a term of up to four (4) years with no option to renew, and the total term will not exceed ten (10) years. Vendors must be registered in the BidBuy procurement system and are required to provide proof of equivalency if proposing an alternative to the Intoxilyzer 8000. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no small business, minority contractor, or veteran small business participation goals associated with this solicitation. The pricing in this contract is estimated, and vendors may request one upward price adjustment per twelve (12) month period based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index. Governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies will be able to place orders and receive direct billing under this Joint Purchase Master Contract.

The solicitation does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor has it specified a budget range for the procurement. The solicitation does, however, indicate that the state is limited by Administrative Rule on the specific breath analysis instruments it can procure, which are enumerated in the Illinois Department of State Police regulations.
