NOT A BIDDING OPPORTUNITY DHS EMERGENCY NOTICE Personal Protective Equipment

The State of Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) has issued an emergency notice for the procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used by staff in State Operated Developmental Centers, Hospitals and Family and Community Services Offices. The emergency contract, which was awarded to The Moving Concierge, will provide 10,000 gloves, 15,000 face shields, 1,000,000 KN95 or equivalent masks, and 1,000,000 surgical masks. The expected contract term is from April 1, 2020 to June 29, 2020, with an estimated total expenditure of $3,672,500. This emergency procurement was not competitively bid, as the agency determined it was necessary to forego the normal competitive process to meet the immediate PPE needs during the public health emergency.

This emergency contract is limited to the jurisdiction of St. Clair County and is not a standard bidding opportunity. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Moving Concierge is the incumbent vendor for this emergency contract. The funding source for this procurement is unspecified, though it may utilize federal, state appropriated, state grant, or other funds.
