NO BIDS ACCEPTED - Final Notice of Emergency Cost Face Shields and Level 2 Gowns

This is an emergency procurement by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) for personal protective equipment (PPE) to address the COVID-19 crisis. IDHS required 378,450 disposable medical gowns compliant with FDA Level 2 certification and 28,790 face shields. Due to errors in the agency's inventory records, IDHS selected an established vendor, The Moving Concierge, with a multi-year relationship, to quickly procure and deliver the needed PPE. The emergency procurement was made for an estimated cost of $1,660,234.50 with an expected term from August 4, 2020 to September 30, 2020. The final total cost was $1,660,234.50 with a final term from August 9, 2020 to September 30, 2020, utilizing state appropriated funds. This was an emergency purchase made in response to a threat to public health and safety, for which competitive bidding was not feasible given the immediate need for the PPE.

This was an emergency, sole-source procurement, and no further bids are being accepted. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this was a one-time emergency purchase. The Moving Concierge was the incumbent vendor for this procurement. The value of the final contract was $1,660,234.50.
