REBID FY26-115 Collateral recovery tickets

The Illinois Commerce Commission seeks qualified vendors to produce 100,000 Collateral Recovery Tickets annually over a three-year contract period through this rebid opportunity, with proposals due by April 3, 2026. The tickets are 8.5" x 11" carrier sheets with microperforation cuts that separate into 8.5" x 3.667" torn sizes, each featuring a 3" x 3" tamper-evident VOID decal using SafTSeal EX or EXM void technology or equivalent on durable vinyl or polyester film capable of withstanding temperatures from -40°F to 200°F while resisting UV exposure, moisture, and abrasion. Tickets must be consecutively numbered beginning with 1154001 in year one and continuing through 1254000 with no skipped or duplicated numbers, with digital proofs due within ten business days of contract execution and hard copy proofs within five business days of digital approval. Delivery is required within 30 working days of hard copy approval to the Illinois Commerce Commission in Springfield at 527 East Capitol Avenue, with packaging specifications requiring exactly 1,000 sequentially numbered tickets per box arranged into 20 shrink-wrapped bundles of 50 tickets. The vendor must perform all printing and production services in-house using its own employees and equipment with no subcontracting, outsourcing, or third-party involvement permitted due to security-sensitive production requirements; prior to award, vendors must disclose all physical production facility locations with ownership documentation and identify the responsible production contact. All pricing must be inclusive of inside delivery, freight, and handling, with the state reserving the right to reject any portion of orders within seven days of delivery for printing defects, incorrect numbering, or packaging damage, and vendors are responsible for replacement at no additional cost.

Vendors must comply with the State of Illinois Standard Certifications (Version 26.2), which impose 34 mandatory certification requirements covering educational loan defaults, tax compliance, criminal history restrictions, debarment status, drug-free workplace requirements, equal employment opportunity obligations, and various statutory compliance standards applicable to all state contracts. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses are indicated in this rebid opportunity; however, vendors electing to participate in minority contractor initiative programs are subject to a $15 fee. The Standard Terms and Conditions establish that vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, comply with all federal, state, and local laws, and retain records for three years (five years if federal funds are involved). No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided in the available documents, indicating this rebid is open competition. Budget or award values are not specified in the procurement materials; however, all pricing must include inside delivery, freight, and handling for the 100,000 annual ticket production over the three-year contract term, with invoicing directed to ICC.AccountsPayable@Illinois.gov and Lance.Bruere@illinois.gov.
