JPMC Sourcewell RFP 051926 Pre-Engineered Buildings with Related Materials and Services

The State of Illinois, in cooperation with Sourcewell (a Minnesota governmental unit and service cooperative purchasing organization), is soliciting qualified vendors to establish Master Agreements for the provision of Pre-Engineered Buildings with Related Materials and Services. This cooperative procurement is designed to serve state governments, departments, agencies, institutions of higher education, political subdivisions including school districts, counties, and cities, the District of Columbia, and other eligible entities subject to individual state procurement director approval. The solicitation seeks to provide Participating Entities with access to pre-engineered buildings and related materials and services at best-value pricing by leveraging the collective purchasing volume of numerous governmental entities to obtain more favorable pricing than would be available on an individual basis. Qualified offerors must submit complete solicitation documents obtained from the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with the RFP closing on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Contract vendors must submit annual certifications confirming continued compliance with mandatory minimum requirements and technical specifications throughout the contract term. The Master Agreement will have an initial term of four years, with options for up to three additional one-year renewal periods based on mutual agreement between Sourcewell and the supplier and the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities.

Participating agreements must comply with the State of Illinois Specific Participating Agreement Terms and Conditions, which limit any participating agreement term, including initial term and all extensions or amendments, to a maximum of ten years. Eligible organizations include governmental units as defined under the Illinois Procurement Code, state agencies, public authorities with taxing power, and qualifying not-for-profit agencies. Vendors are required to register in both the Illinois Procurement Gateway (ipg.illinois.gov) and BidBuy before contract execution and may be required to meet Illinois Business Enterprise Program goals and small business contracting goals under state statute. All participating agreements executed by the State of Illinois are contingent upon the availability of funds and subject to termination or suspension without penalty if appropriations fail or are insufficient. Payment will be made in accordance with the State Prompt Payment Act, with late payment charges serving as the vendor's sole remedy. The State of Illinois will evaluate awarded contracts for best-value determinations and reserves the right to incorporate its Standard Terms and Conditions into all participating agreements. Interested vendors should direct all inquiries to Sourcewell through the referenced portal, as the State of Illinois will not respond to questions regarding this non-mandatory participation solicitation.
