Purchase of Toolboxes, Camper Shells, and Bedcovers for Carbondale garage

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is soliciting bids for the purchase of toolboxes, camper shells, and bed covers for the Department of Transportation (DOT) District 9 vehicles, which will be serviced at the Carbondale State Garage #32. The requested items include one to two units of each item, including a camper shell topper, toolboxes, storage systems, and a tonneau cover, to be delivered and installed at the Carbondale location. The procurement is structured as a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), which is a one-time purchase with specific pricing and payment terms. Vendors must comply with the State's Standard Certifications, which cover a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the Standard Terms and Conditions for State and local government contracts. The solicitation requires electronic submission of bids through the BidBuy platform, and the deadline for responses is December 9, 2021.

The BOA does not indicate any set-aside requirements or the current incumbent vendor. The contract is funded through the State of Illinois and does not appear to include any federal funding sources. While the procurement documents do not provide a specific award value or budget range, the State of Illinois has an ongoing need for these types of vehicle accessories for its DOT fleet, suggesting a potentially recurring and sizable contracting opportunity for qualified vendors in the Jefferson County, Illinois region.
