JPMC Tires

This state and local contracting opportunity is for a Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for the procurement of tires and related maintenance and repair services for passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium trucks/buses, off-road equipment, and industrial vehicles. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS), in cooperation with the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, is issuing this Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a JPMC that will enable CMS, governmental units, and qualified not-for-profit agencies to purchase tires on an as-needed basis during the contract period. The contract has an initial term of six years, with a maximum total term of ten years. Bidders must submit their responses through the BidBuy e-procurement system by the stated due date, and pricing must be provided as either a unit cost per tire or as a percent discount off the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) list. The State intends to make multiple awards to all responsive and responsible bidders who submit a reasonable bid.

This solicitation has a 7% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation goal for minority-owned, women-owned, and disabled person-owned businesses, but no set-aside for veteran-owned small businesses. The contract pricing is subject to an economic price adjustment clause tied to the Producer Price Index for tire manufacturing. While the Notice of Award indicates the total contract value is $86,342,077.93, the specific award values or budget ranges for individual bidders were not provided in the available documentation. The incumbent vendor for this contract is Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
