Marion Geotech Filters

The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Bureau of Water is seeking to procure 2,150 Geotech 0.45 um medium capacity disposable filter capsules, specifically 43 boxes of 50 filters each, through a small purchase procurement method. The contract (No. 24-532EPA-WATER-B-46698) is a one-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for the Marion facility, funded through state funding for fiscal year 2025. Key deliverables include the precise filter specifications of 0.45um with medium capacity and 350CM2 surface area, to be used for environmental testing and water quality purposes. The procurement opportunity is posted on February 24, 2025, with proposals due by March 10, 2025. Vendors must comply with comprehensive state regulations, including prevailing wage requirements and standard procurement terms, and demonstrate ability to meet precise filter specifications and delivery requirements.

The contract appears open to all qualifying vendors, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly noted in the documentation. Potential vendors must complete 33 separate certification points covering legal, ethical, and operational standards, including requirements related to criminal background checks, tax compliance, workplace standards, and non-discrimination policies. The total contract value is under $50,000, indicating a relatively modest procurement opportunity. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general commercial liability and auto liability insurance. Compliance requirements are stringent, with potential sanctions including contract voiding, suspension, debarment, or civil penalties for non-compliance. The contract includes provisions for record retention for three years post-completion and allows the state to cancel the agreement based on funding availability or performance issues.
