Rebid HSTL Training Aids IED Blasts MTC and STC

The State of Illinois is seeking proposals for the re-bid of a contract to provide training aids and equipment for simulated IED blast training at the Marseilles and Sparta Training Centers. The solicitation requires vendors to submit proposals for various explosive materials, detonation devices, and related accessories to be used in the training programs at these two state-operated facilities. The contract term and renewal options are not specified, but the successful bidder will be awarded the contract to furnish these training aids and materials. Proposals are due by September 16, 2020, and a pre-bid conference will be held. The solicitation outlines detailed requirements for taxpayer identification, business authorizations, standard certifications, and other necessary disclosures and forms to be submitted as part of the bid response.

While the solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or current funding details, it is noted that this is a re-bid of a previous contract, so the existing environment and any changes from the prior contract are unclear. The documents indicate that set-asides may apply, but do not provide specifics on any designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The total award value or budget range for this contract opportunity is also not disclosed in the provided information.
