NOT A BIDDING OPPORTUNITY DHS EMERGENCY NOTICE Personal Protective Equipment

This is an emergency procurement by the State of Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) for personal protective equipment (PPE) in the form of 525,000 size small, 1,575,000 size medium, 1,575,000 size large, and 1,575,000 size XL nitrile gloves. The emergency procurement was necessitated by the threat to public health posed by the COVID-19 crisis, and the vendor, The Moving Concierge, was selected due to its established relationship and ability to procure and deliver the PPE in a relatively short timeframe. The expected start date was June 25, 2020, with an estimated end date of June 30, 2020, at a total estimated cost of $1,207,500. The procurement utilized state appropriated funds and was authorized by the Agency Procurement Officer. No existing state contract was available for the required supplies. This was an emergency procurement, and the contract may be extended beyond the initial 90-day term if the Chief Procurement Officer determines that additional time is necessary, though a public hearing would be required prior to any extension.

This emergency procurement is limited to the Illinois Department of Human Services and is not a bidding opportunity. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this was a sole source procurement. The Moving Concierge is the incumbent vendor for this emergency PPE purchase. The budget for this procurement is $1,207,500, which was funded through state appropriated funds.
