The Illinois Department of Human Services is soliciting bids for the procurement of approximately 200 rolls of roll paper with the following specifications: 11 inches wide by 50 inches in diameter with a 5-inch core and 60-pound weight in white color. The contract opportunity, posted on April 28, 2026, requires proposals to be submitted by May 1, 2026. The vendor must demonstrate the capability to deliver the first full truckload of roll paper within 30 days of receiving notice of award, with the complete order required to be delivered by June 30, 2026. Vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law. All supplies must be warranted for a minimum of 12 months, and vendors must comply with all prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Payment will be processed in accordance with the State Prompt Payment Act, with invoices due by July 31 of the year in which services are rendered, and vendors awarded contracts valued at $1,000 or more must pay a $15 administrative fee deducted from the first payment.

The contract is contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly and remains subject to termination for convenience with 30 days' written notice. Vendors must provide comprehensive certifications addressing 33 distinct compliance areas, including vendor eligibility, legal status, criminal history, ethical conduct, workplace standards, regulatory compliance, non-delinquency on educational loans, absence of pension-related early retirement incentives, prohibition on bribery and felony convictions, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, state debt delinquency status, environmental violations, bid-rigging prohibitions, drug-free workplace standards, equal employment opportunity commitments, forced labor prohibitions, and information technology accessibility and cybersecurity requirements. All certifications must be renewed by January 1 of each fiscal year for contracts exceeding one year in duration, and any subcontractors must be approved in writing prior to engagement and must maintain equivalent certifications. Failure to provide accurate certifications or maintain compliance throughout the contract term may result in contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the solicitation documents, though the contract value appears to be at least $1,000 given the administrative fee requirement.
