The Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking a vendor to provide Beauty and Barber Services for individuals at the Ann Kiley Center through a rebid contract for fiscal years 2026-2028. This procurement opportunity, identified by State Local Contract Opportunity ID 6793cf8d2bb8b83ca70f9e82, was posted on January 24, 2025, with proposals due by January 31, 2025. The contract aims to deliver comprehensive beauty and barber services to center residents, requiring vendors to demonstrate expertise in providing professional grooming services tailored to the specific needs of the facility's individuals. Potential bidders must carefully review the attached Standard Terms and Conditions and Standard Illinois Certifications, which outline extensive compliance requirements including payment protocols, prevailing wage standards, and various mandatory certifications. Vendors will need to meet rigorous documentation standards, maintain appropriate insurance coverage (including $1,000,000 per occurrence for General Commercial Liability), and be prepared to submit detailed invoicing and record-keeping documentation.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the State of Illinois typically encourages participation from minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises, with a noted $15 fee for minority contractors awarded contracts over $1,000. The procurement requires vendors to comply with 33 different certification requirements covering financial, ethical, environmental, and operational standards. Vendors must be prepared to maintain comprehensive records for three years (five years if federal funds are involved) and report any changes affecting their certification status by January 1 of each fiscal year. Although the exact budget range is not specified, the contract's multi-year nature (FY26-28) suggests a substantial commitment from the state. Potential bidders should note that false certifications could result in severe consequences, including contract termination, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties, underscoring the importance of full and accurate compliance with all stated requirements.
