SP Laminates

The state and local contract opportunity, posted by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Tollway), is seeking a vendor to supply laminate sheets for tabletops, cabinets, and countertops. The Tollway is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for 13 line items of various laminate products in different sizes and colors from manufacturers like Pionte and Helmibond. The contract term is for 3 years, with an option to renew for 2 additional years. Vendors must submit quotes through the Bid Buy system by the published due date, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest price. The RFQ provides detailed pricing information, including unit prices that must include shipping, and estimates the total quantities over the 5-year contract term. Vendors must also bid a percent discount from the manufacturer's list price for any other items the Tollway may purchase during the contract. The Tollway will not accept any price increases, and vendors are guaranteed to receive the lowest price.

The contract opportunity has no set-asides or incumbent vendors noted. The contract is contingent on the availability of funds, and the procurement is subject to various state laws and regulations, including those related to compliance with civil rights, non-delinquency on state debts, drug-free workplace policies, and prohibitions on political contributions and bid rigging. Vendors must provide detailed information on their business, ownership structure, conflicts of interest, and financial standing as part of the required forms and certifications. The total contract value is not specified, but the contract is noted as having an annual value over $50,000.
