MEN-Gallon Jugs/Caps-COD 22-5028-las

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at Menard Correctional Center, is seeking bids for the procurement of 9,600 1-gallon polyethylene jugs and 9,800 white "child resistant" caps. The jugs and caps must meet specific requirements outlined in the Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) document, including color, weight, dimensions, and packaging. Bids are due by 10:00 am CST on 01/04/2022 and must be submitted through the state's BidBuy system. The agency reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part, and the contract term begins upon signature by both parties and ends on 6/30/2022. The vendor is responsible for shipping the items FOB Menard within 10 days of receiving the order and must provide samples of the jugs and caps prior to the bid award.

The procurement is being handled as a small purchase, with no disclosed subcontractors. The opportunity is open to any qualified vendor, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement documents do not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or on the existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration. While the documents do not specify a budget range, the procurement is for a limited quantity of standardized goods, so the possible award value is likely to be relatively small.
