Jpmc gloves, exam and disposable sbsa

The State of Illinois, through its Central Management Services (CMS) department, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a joint purchase master contract for governmental agencies and qualified not-for-profit organizations to procure exam and disposable gloves on an as-needed basis. The contract will have an initial term of three years, with the possibility of up to three one-year renewal options. The IFB requests pricing for various types and sizes of vinyl, latex, and nitrile gloves, in quantities ranging from 1,200 to 50,550 units per item. The gloves must meet ASTM and FDA standards for medical grade. Bids are due by April 23, 2019 at 2:00 PM CST, and there is no mandatory bidder's conference. The contract will allow for subcontracting, but there is no Small Business Set-Aside, Minority Contractor Initiative, or Veteran Small Business participation goal. Pricing shall be submitted on a per box of 100 gloves basis, with an economic price adjustment clause tied to the Producer Price Index.

The resulting contract will be open for use by all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies in Illinois, with each entity billed separately for their actual share of the costs. The total payments under this contract are not capped, as it is an indefinite quantity master contract. The State may terminate the contract for cause, for convenience, or due to lack of appropriation. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the available budget range is not specified.
