The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office is issuing Sourcewell RFP #112426 for Master Agreements covering Material Processing and Recycling Equipment with Related Products and Services, with proposals due November 24, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. CST. This is a cooperative purchasing vehicle administered by Sourcewell (a Minnesota local governmental agency) on behalf of Illinois state agencies, higher-education institutions, school districts, counties, cities, and other eligible governmental units within Illinois.

Participation in the resulting Master Agreement is available on a non-mandatory basis to Illinois governmental units, subject to approval by individual state procurement directors and compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. Vendors must comply with Illinois Business Enterprise Program goals and contracting goals with Illinois small businesses where applicable.

The initial contract term spans four years, with the option for Sourcewell and selected suppliers to agree to up to three additional one-year extensions. The State of Illinois reserves the right to consider further extensions beyond seven years under exceptional circumstances, provided that contract vendors submit annual certification of compliance with mandatory minimum requirements and technical specifications. The total term of any participating agreement, including initial term and extensions, may not exceed ten years.

Vendors must obtain the complete solicitation from the State of Minnesota's Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://osp.admin.mn.gov/GS-auto rather than the State of Illinois. Vendors must register in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and BidBuy before contract execution. Participating agreements are contingent upon the availability of funds and are subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The State does not waive sovereign immunity and does not enter into binding arbitration to resolve disputes. Claims against the State must be filed exclusively with the Illinois Court of Claims, and payment will be made in accordance with the State Prompt Payment Act.
