Self Contained Breathing Apparatus

Paragraph 1:

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Office of Mines and Minerals, is seeking to purchase 24 Bio Marine Bio Pak 240 Revolution 4-hour Rebreathers through a competitive solicitation process. The specific model is requested as IDNR maintains these units at its other rescue stations, and personnel are trained on this particular model. The BioPak 240 Revolution has fewer parts, allowing for quicker servicing. The solicitation requires a firm, not estimated, total contract price, and prohibits subcontractors. Pricing must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy platform, as the State will only accept electronic submissions for this procurement. The resulting contract will commence upon final signature and terminate on June 30, 2023.

Paragraph 2:

There are no small business, minority, or veteran set-aside requirements for this procurement. The State may terminate the contract for cause or convenience, and availability of appropriation. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total budget or award value is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is for the purchase of 24 units, with a trade-in credit of $3,075 per unit on the existing Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Vendors must have an active, unexpired registration in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) and complete the required vendor disclosure forms to be considered responsive.
