JPMC Recycling Scrap Metal Regions 1-6

The State of Illinois is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract for the pickup, removal, disposal, and recycling of scrap and specialty metals from authorized locations across six designated regions in Illinois. The contract will have a term of six years, with the potential to extend up to ten years total. Bidders may bid on one or multiple regions, and the State may award to multiple vendors to ensure adequate delivery of services. Payment to the State will be based on the average published weekly high side rates per gross ton, with the vendor subtracting a percentage discount based on the awarded region. The contract is available for use by all governmental units in Illinois, and the vendor must extend the terms, conditions, and pricing to those entities. The bid submission deadline is May 20, 2022, and a pre-bid conference will be held on April 12, 2022 to discuss the Business Enterprise and Veteran Small Business Program (BEP/VSBP) goals and utilization plan process.

There are no small business, minority, women, person with disability, or veteran small business participation goals for this procurement. The contract opportunity appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside or incumbent information provided. The IFB does not specify any award value or budget range, but the State is seeking to establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract to enable CMS and governmental units to purchase these scrap metal recycling services.
