REBID- DHS SP Kiley - Breads FY23

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking to procure various bread products for the Ann Kiley Center in a rebid for Fiscal Year 2023. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) solicits bids for items such as white bread, hamburger buns, dinner rolls, and wheat bread, with specified quantities and delivery requirements. The contract term is for July 2022 through June 2023, and vendors must provide unit costs for each line item. The facility is tax-exempt, and vendors must note if they are unable to bid on a particular line item or have an equivalent product. Actual order quantities may vary based on the facility's needs once the contract is awarded. The RFQ was posted on January 31, 2022, and bids are due by February 7, 2022.

The contract opportunity is open to all vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Vendors must complete various state-required forms, including certifications, disclosures, and information about their business, regardless of the annual value of the bid, offer, or contract. Subcontractors with an annual subcontract value over $50,000 must also complete the forms. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor offering the lowest total cost. While the budget range is not specified, the contract's value will depend on the facility's actual bread needs during the contract term.
