Sole Source Drinking Water

This is a sole source procurement opportunity posted by the state of Illinois for drinking water. The state is seeking a contractor to provide drinking water services, with key deliverables including the regular delivery and replenishment of drinking water supplies to designated state facilities. The main objective is to ensure a reliable and consistent source of potable water for state employees and visitors. Contractors must meet specific qualifications related to water quality, delivery logistics, and emergency response capabilities. The evaluation will focus on the contractor's ability to meet the state's needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. The response is due by February 11, 2020, with no scheduled site visits or bidders' meetings.

This appears to be a sole source contract, meaning the state has determined there is only one viable supplier that can meet the identified requirements. As such, there are no designated set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor has it specified any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the state has not provided an estimated award value or budget range, sole source contracts are typically of a smaller scale compared to competitive procurements.
