Security Equipment for Dirksen Parkway Buildout

The Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) is seeking bids for security equipment specific to the Dirksen Parkway Facility buildout, located in St. Clair County. This Request for Quote (RFQ) 25PS014065 specifically requires procurement of IDENTIV brand security components, including 2 Hirsch MX-1 Controllers, 2 Hirsch MX-8 Controllers, 7 Hirsch DS47L Scramble Pads, and 7 Hirsch XMS Motion Sensors. The procurement is explicitly restricted to these exact brand name components, with no alternate products permitted. Bids must be submitted via email or through the BidBuy system, with a final submission deadline of April 25, 2025, and all equipment required to be received by April 11, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing expected to include all shipping costs to the delivery address at 3701 Winchester Rd in Springfield, IL. The contract term will run from execution through June 30, 2025, with no additional renewal options specified.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears to follow standard state contracting requirements with vendor certification prerequisites. Vendors must provide proof of $1,000,000 in General Commercial Liability insurance and comply with various state and federal regulatory standards. The contract will include standard provisions for confidentiality and indemnification. Although a precise contract value was not specified, the procurement involves multiple security controllers and sensors, suggesting a moderate-sized technology investment. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate compliance with state vendor qualifications, maintain appropriate insurance coverage, and provide competitive pricing for the exact specified IDENTIV security equipment. The ultimate contract award will be determined through a comprehensive evaluation of responsiveness, responsibility, and price competitiveness.
