JPMC Trash Can Hamper Liners

The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a three-year joint purchasing master contract for the procurement of trash can hamper liners. The contract will enable governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies in Illinois to purchase these liners on an as-needed basis during the contract period, which may be extended up to ten years. The IFB details 31 line items for various sizes and styles of liners, with quantities ranging from 324 to 16,483 units and unit prices from $0.54 to $10.95 per unit. Vendors must submit bids by the due date of June 25, 2020, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest price.

The IFB includes a 7% Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities (BEP) goal and a 1% Veteran Small Business (VSB) goal. Vendors must contact the BEP certified vendors listed in the provided directory to fulfill the Good Faith Effort requirement. The total contract value is estimated, but not specified. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract will likely be funded through state and local government sources.
