SP Chains, Hooks, and Links

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA) is seeking a qualified vendor to furnish and deliver various sizes and quantities of overhead lifting chain, eye hooks, slip hooks, and quick-alloy coupling links through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The RFQ specifies the required manufacturer part numbers, chain sizes, and working load limits. Vendors must submit quotes no later than June 28, 2022 through the BidBuy bid portal. The contract term is two years from August 29, 2022 through August 28, 2024, with no renewal options. Pricing must be submitted on all line items in Group 1, and vendors must also provide a percentage discount from manufacturer's list price for any additional items the ISTHA may purchase under the contract. The ISTHA will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest price.

The procurement is open to all vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not provide an estimated award value or budget range, but the ISTHA is seeking to establish a two-year contract for the supply of chains, hooks, and links to support their operations in Dupage County, Illinois.
