JPMC Laundry Equipment Leases by Region

The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract for leasing commercial-grade laundry equipment by region on an as-needed basis over a five-year term. The IFB requests bids from responsible vendors to provide washers and dryers with detailed specifications, as well as delivery, installation, training, and maintenance services. The contract will be available for use by all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies in Illinois, with pricing required to remain firm for the first six months and potential adjustments thereafter based on the Producer Price Index. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest price.

The procurement has a 3% Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities (BEP) participation goal, but no Veteran Small Business (VSB) participation goal. A pre-bid conference will be held on May 24, 2022 to discuss the BEP requirements and utilization plan process. The current incumbent vendor is CSC ServiceWorks, Inc., which was awarded a $560,682.96 contract for washers and dryers across 37 line items. The procurement is funded by the State of Illinois, and no specific award value or budget range is provided in the available information.
