JPMC NVP Office Supplies

The State of Illinois has announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase of Office Supplies through the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing organization. The RFP is being released by the State of Oregon and is scheduled to close on Friday, June 24, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The objective of this RFP is to obtain best value and achieve more favorable pricing than individual state or local government entities through the collective volume of potential purchases. The resulting Master Agreement(s) will provide participating entities, including state governments, institutions of higher education, political subdivisions, and other eligible entities, with access to office supplies. Interested vendors must obtain the solicitation from the State of Oregon's procurement system website or the NASPO ValuePoint website, as the State of Illinois is not directly involved in the solicitation process.

The initial term of the resulting Master Agreement(s) will be three (3) years with three (3) one-year renewal options. The Illinois-specific terms and conditions for cooperative participation in state contracts are outlined in the attached document, which is available to all governmental units within the State of Illinois. The agreement is contingent on the availability of funds and may be terminated or suspended at the state's discretion if funding is insufficient. The agreement requires vendors to register in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and BidBuy before execution, and may include goals for Illinois Business Enterprise Program participation and contracting with Illinois small businesses. The contract value or budget range is not specified in the provided information.
