Rebid TDF Polygraph - Small Purchase

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services Treatment and Detention Facility (TDF), is seeking to procure polygraph examination services in Schuyler County. The requested services include initial and non-initial polygraph examinations of residents, as well as written reports detailing the nature of the examination, questions asked, responses, evidence of deception, and the examiner's professional opinion. The vendor must provide examiners who are appropriately licensed in the State of Illinois and trained to perform post-conviction polygraph examinations with sexual offenders. The RFQ requests 30 polygraph examinations for Fiscal Year 2020, 60 examinations for Fiscal Year 2021, and 60 examinations for Fiscal Year 2022. Vendors must provide their per-exam rate for each fiscal year, as well as the total rate, which must be valid for 90 days. The winning vendor will be chosen based on the lowest total bid. The Department reserves the right to reject all offers, reject individual offers for failure to meet any requirement, award by item or group of items, and waive minor defects.

This contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total budget or award value range is not explicitly stated, but the number of requested examinations provides an indication of the anticipated scope and scale of the contract.
