Offsite Document Storage and Management Services FY25

The Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (IWCC) is seeking an offsite document storage and management services contract for fiscal year 2025, specifically targeting the storage and management of approximately 11,000 cubic feet of paper records. This small purchase procurement with sole source conditions will cover document storage services with required delivery to and from Chicago offices, effective from February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026. The contract opportunity, identified as State Local Contract Opportunity ID 6806174b468dc2b19f016f12, was posted on January 27, 2025, with a submission deadline on the same date. The procurement appears to be a direct acquisition focusing on comprehensive records management that includes secure storage, retrieval, and transportation of physical documentation. Potential vendors must carefully review the attached standard terms and conditions document, which outlines comprehensive contractual requirements, vendor expectations, and compliance guidelines for state procurement processes.

Based on the available documentation, no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the provided materials. The standard Illinois certifications document suggests vendors must comply with 33 specific areas of certification, including maintaining a drug-free workplace, avoiding conflicts of interest, and adhering to anti-discrimination policies. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the scope of 11,000 cubic feet of document storage indicates a potentially significant annual contract value. The procurement appears to be a targeted sole-source opportunity, potentially indicating a preferred or incumbent vendor relationship with Iron Mountain, though this is not definitively confirmed. Vendors responding to this opportunity will need to demonstrate comprehensive document storage and management capabilities, robust logistics for document retrieval and delivery, and full compliance with the state's stringent procurement standards and certification requirements.
