PREAA Auditors 20/21 Services

The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) is seeking bids for PREA Auditor Services to conduct audits of IDJJ facilities statewide under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The contract will require the successful vendor to provide comprehensive PREA audits for the IDJJ's facilities, with the initial term running from February 1, 2021 to January 31, 2022, and the possibility of up to 10 years of renewal terms. Interested vendors must complete the provided contract, including pricing in section 2.4.1, and return the document and either FORMS A or FORMS B via the BidBuy Portal, fax, or email no later than January 12, 2021. A mandatory bidder's conference/site visit may be required, and attendees will be subject to security screenings and COVID-19 protocols. The state reserves the right to renew the contract in various manners, including a single renewal covering the entire allowable term or individual one-year renewals.

This opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and the state has not identified any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract may be terminated for cause if the vendor fails to perform to the state's satisfaction or is in violation of a material provision of the contract. While the announcement does not specify a budget range, the state will select the most responsive and responsible bid that meets the defined requirements and delivers the best value to the IDJJ.
