JPMC Outdoor Equipment, Parts and Accessories

The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract for a wide range of outdoor equipment, parts, and accessories. The contract will have a term of up to five years, with no option to renew, and the total term including any extensions cannot exceed ten years. The IFB requests bids for a variety of outdoor equipment and accessories across multiple NIGP commodity codes, including brush and tree chippers, brush cutters, log splitters, tractor-mounted equipment, lawn and garden tools, and snow removal equipment. Pricing for the contract will be based on a percentage discount off the vendor's Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) list, with separate discount percentages required for equipment, parts, and accessories. Vendors must also provide their current MSRP lists in the required electronic format. Bids are due by the specified date and time, and no pre-submission conference is mandatory for this solicitation.

The contract does not have a Small Business Set-Aside or Veteran Small Business goal, and the State reserves the right to make a single award to the responsive and responsible bidder providing the lowest overall cost. The resulting contract will be available for use by all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies within the State of Illinois. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, and the document does not provide any information on the potential award value or budget range for this procurement.
