The Illinois Department of Corrections Menard Correctional Center is seeking bids for the procurement of 160,000 yards of 66-inch white sheeting to be used in the production of sheets and pillowcases. The initial contract term will be one year, with the total term not to exceed ten years. Vendors must provide samples of the product for approval prior to award, and all submissions must be made electronically through the BidBuy platform, as the state is only accepting electronic responses for this competitive solicitation. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest price, with pricing required to be FOB Menard. The state anticipates releasing truckload quantities of approximately 80,000 pounds per order over the one-year contract term. The contract is contingent upon the availability of funding, and the state may terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice.

This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The previous contract for this requirement was awarded to Club Tex Inc. for a total award amount of $121,600 over the initial one-year term. The procurement documents do not provide any estimated financial return to the state or gross revenue to the vendor over the life of the contract.
