SOS SP Library Supplies

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking bids for various library supplies to be delivered to multiple state correctional facilities across Illinois by August 15, 2024. The procurement is a one-time Request for Quote (RFQ) for library supplies, with bids due no later than July 3, 2024 at 3:00 PM. The RFQ provides detailed pricing instructions, requiring vendors to submit pricing through the BidBuy system. Expenses are not allowed, and the total payments under the contract shall not exceed an amount to be determined by the State prior to execution. There is no mandatory pre-bid conference, and the contract does not have any renewal options.

The contract is subject to small business set-aside requirements, but there are no other preferences indicated. The RFQ outlines standard terms and conditions, including payment, assignment, subcontracting, auditing, and compliance requirements. The contract may be partially or fully funded by federal sources, and the State has the authority to monitor performance and make modifications as necessary. The pricing terms note that the State will not pay for expenses incurred prior to contract execution, and that the Vendor must pay prevailing wages when required by law.
