SP Furniture Desk

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a one-time purchase of various office furniture items, including desks. The RFQ outlines detailed specifications for the required furniture, including brand name or equal requirements, quantities, delivery terms, invoicing, and contract termination provisions. The contract term is anticipated to be from March 1, 2023 through June 1, 2023 with no renewal options. Vendors must submit quotes through the BidBuy system by the published deadline. The Tollway will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest price, with pricing subject to a 180-day validity period and a guarantee of the lowest price.

The Standard Terms and Conditions for the State of Illinois apply to this contract opportunity, which establish consistent requirements for vendors providing goods and services, including prevailing wage, minority contractor initiatives, federal funding disclosures, invoice submission deadlines, and protocols for modifying the contract. Vendors must also acknowledge and agree to comply with the state's standard certifications covering a wide range of compliance requirements, such as civil rights, employee eligibility, legal business status, labor agreements, and environmental protections. Non-compliance can result in sanctions such as contract voidance, debarment, fines, or criminal penalties. No incumbent vendors or budget ranges are provided in the materials.
