Rebid-flour- white and wheat - ICI

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), through the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI), is procuring white and whole wheat flour for a 1-2 year blanket contract. The IFB calls for 135,000 bags of white flour and 30,000 bags of whole wheat fine grind flour, which must meet detailed physical and regulatory specifications. Vendors must provide unit prices as a multiplier to be used in conjunction with the current posted commodity wheat futures prices to determine the final per-bag price. Vendors must be able to provide normal testing, have an on-site research and development lab, and the flour must be kosher certified. The bid opening date has been amended multiple times, with the current opening scheduled for November 16, 2018 at 11:00 AM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

There is no Small Business Set-Aside for this procurement, but there are Minority, Female, and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation goals that must be addressed by bidders. The incumbent vendor is unknown, and the contract value is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is for a substantial quantity of white and wheat flour to be supplied to ICI facilities across Illinois.
