Jpmc gloves, exam and disposable sbsa

The State of Illinois Central Management Services is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a 3-year joint purchase master contract, with a 3-year renewal option, for the procurement of exam and disposable gloves. This contract will be available for use by all governmental agencies and qualified not-for-profit organizations in the state of Illinois. The IFB seeks to acquire various sizes and types of vinyl, nitrile, and latex gloves, with requested quantities ranging from 1,200 to 50,550 boxes of 100 gloves each. The gloves must meet specific ASTM and FDA standards, including being beaded cuff, powder-free, ambidextrous, seamless, non-sterile, and medical grade. Bidders must provide manufacturer and model information. The contract will utilize an economic price adjustment clause tied to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index. The bid opening date is not provided, but the due date for submissions is December 3, 2019.

This is a Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) solicitation, meaning only registered Illinois small businesses may submit bids. The contract was previously awarded to Globe Medical-Surgical Supply Co. for a total value of $2,050,291.20. However, the previous award was canceled due to unreasonable pricing. Information on current pricing and the award history is not publicly available and would require a FOIA request. The scope is not limited to Illinois-based businesses, and the number of delivery locations is open to all eligible entities in Illinois. Disputes will be resolved directly between the affected parties.
