MTC Radar Extended Warranty

The state of Illinois, specifically the Department of Military Affairs, is procuring an extended warranty, service, and maintenance plan for a radar system located at the Marseilles Training Center in Lasalle County. This is a small purchase with sole source conditions, as the radar system can only be serviced by the original manufacturer, De Tect Incorporated. The fixed price for the one-year extended warranty is $25,500, which is the same as the previous year. The contract term is from September 25, 2020 to September 24, 2021. Without this warranty, there would be a gap in coverage, resulting in potential loss of federal funds and higher future repair and maintenance costs. The state has purchased this extended warranty for the past two years, and this procurement is to provide uninterrupted coverage to maintain the system.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The incumbent provider, De Tect Incorporated, is the sole source for this procurement due to the specialized nature of the radar equipment. The total estimated value of the contract is $25,500, which will be funded through the state's general operating budget.
