SP Chains, Hooks, and Links

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA), is seeking a qualified vendor to supply chains, hooks, and links for a two-year contract term with no renewal options. The RFQ specifies the required quantities and sizes of overhead lifting chains, grab hooks, and coupling links, and vendors must bid on all items to be considered responsive. Pricing is to be submitted on a per unit basis, with no price increases allowed during the contract term. The RFQ also includes provisions for backorders, returns, and handling of damaged or defective merchandise. Vendors must provide a percentage discount from the manufacturer's list price for select manufacturers, including McMaster-Carr, Campbell Chain, and ACCO. The submission deadline for this opportunity is June 25, 2024.

This contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the RFQ does not provide an exact award value or budget range, it is a standard procurement for ISTHA to maintain its operations and likely represents a moderate contract value.
